NEW!! SULKY 60 wt. PolyLite™ Thread
Quilters love new Sulky PolyLite because it flows like butter through a long-arm or domestic sewing machine with virtually no tension adjustments needed. Perfect for micro-stippling or fine detail quilting and more accurate piecing. Predictable one-inch color changes in the multi-colors add interest and "forgiveness" to your quilting. Can be used top and bobbin for less frequent bobbin changes. Nearly invisible on bindings and stitching in the ditch. It's the perfect companion bobbin thread for Sulky Metallics, Rayons and Invisible Threads.
The ideal thread for heirloom sewing, nearly invisible hand or machine appliqué, wing-needle work, exquisite fine thread lace, trapunto and more. Doesn't shrink, fray or break easily. Creates delicate decorative stitches, and crisp, readable lettering. It looks and feels like silk, but it is stronger and less expensive.
A size 10/70 or 11/75 machine needle is recommended. It is colorfast, bleachable, and both washable and dry cleanable.

- Because it is so fine, greater yardage can be wound on your bobbins, so less bobbin winding, and the backs of your quilts look as pretty as the front.

Designer and long-arm quilter, Evelyn Byler says:
"This fine thread allows detailed patterns to maintain their definition, even when densely quilted. It has wonderful tone-on-tone for textured background fills. Even the brightest PolyLite multi-color thread can add a spark of contrast without overpowering the other elements of a quilt.
And…I was surprised that it is perfect for piecing, and it doesn't pull out like some other 60 wt. threads I've tried. Using this fine thread in the seam, means much more accurate piecing."

As a Bobbin Thread:
- Because it is so fine and available in so many colors, Sulky PolyLite on the bobbin virtually melds with the top thread so that you can hardly tell where they intertwine. You can sew even the most delicate stitches without the bobbin thread showing which makes it perfect for small, intricate designs.
- It is the ideal companion for all types of top threads including Sulky 40 wt. Poly Deco, Sulky 40 wt. Rayon, All Sulky Metallics, and Sulky Invisible. Its silky finish allows it to glide smoothly to form the perfect stitch.
- Now you have 36 solid bobbin colors that work perfectly on top, too!
- And, because you can put so much on a bobbin, less bobbin winding! :)
- Because Sulky PolyLite is made from the highest quality, 100 percent polyester that won't shrink, fray or break easily, it is an economical and versatile addition to your thread collection.
Other attributes:
- 36 beautiful, silky, solid colors. 24 contemporary multi-colors and, because you asked for it, many of them are modeled after the incredibly popular Sulky Cotton Blendables.
- All colors are available on 440 yd. small snap-end spools, and 1,650 yd. Mini-Cones with one snap-end. Sulky Mini-Cones are specifically engineered to work well on the horizontal spool pin of a domestic sewing machine so they don't wobble, which allows the perfect flow of thread.
- Ideal for computerized designs that are digitized for 60 wt. thread, and for machines that prefer 60 wt. thread on the top or bobbin. Do a test stitch-out to see if your design needs to be reduced slightly. Many designs just look lighter and softer without a size reduction.
- Lettering and fine details look crisp, sharp and easy-to-read with Sulky PolyLite.
- When using PolyLite for decorative stitching, you may want to shorten the stitch length slightly so that you get a more solid fill-in on some designs. (Most decorative stitches are digitized for 40 wt. thread, but adapt beautifully to PolyLite 60 wt. thread by slightly shortening the stitch length.)
