Who Sulky are
Sulky is the American brand of the German Gunold embroidery thread group, with its own range for quilting and decorative work. The 12- and 30-weight cottons — solids and the shaded Blendables — are what most people buy Sulky for; the 40-weight Rayon is a long-standing embroidery thread, and PolyLite 60 weight is the fine polyester for bobbins and appliqué. Petites are the small spools that make a wide palette affordable, and the boxed assortments and floor displays are how shops stock the line.

Which one do I need?
- 30-weight cotton for machine quilting, topstitching and sashiko-style stitching; 12-weight for big-stitch hand quilting and bold decorative work with a 100/16 topstitch needle.
- Blendables shift between shades every few inches and are the Sulky line most asked for; solids match them.
- Rayon 40 for machine embroidery with the classic sheen; PolyLite 60 for the bobbin and for appliqué; Poly Sparkle and Filaine for texture and accents.
- Petites spools of 12 and 30 weight for hand work and small projects.
Frequently asked questions
What needle for Sulky 12 weight?
A 100/16 or 110/18 topstitch needle, with a 50-weight thread in the bobbin and stitch length lengthened to 3 mm or more.
Is Sulky Rayon colorfast?
Rayon has excellent sheen and is fine for most embroidery; for items bleached or washed very hot, a polyester embroidery thread is the safer choice.
Blendables or solid?
Blendables for quilting and decorative stitching where a shifting color is the point; solids to match fabric exactly.
