  • SULKY® POLY FLASH 40 is more elastic than rayon thread and therefore, can tolerate more top tension than any other sulky thread.
  • Poly is the easiest to handle thread for your sewing machine.
  • All Sulky thread spools have at least one "snap spool" end - including the King Size spools.
    Gently lift up the end with your thumb, release the thread, then snap it closed.
    To secure the thread when your sewing is completed, gently lift the end with your thumb, wind the thread into the gap, and snap it closed.
  • For best results use bobbin thread SULKY® BOBBIN
