Sulky of America has several longarm machine experts among its national educating staff. Sue Moats, who works on a Gammill, and Evelyn Byler, who works on an APQS machine, have compiled hints and tips for using Sulky specialty threads on a longarm. Here is just a sampling of the extensive info available on Sulky’s longarm page.

Gammill machine Sulkys Tips for Longarm Success: Giveaway Part 5

Q. I’ve been afraid to use Sulky specialty threads on my longarm machine. What are the basics for doing this?

A. While all Sulky threads can be used on LA machines, some may need special handling. Some of the most important things are to sew more slowly; use a soft, smooth thread in the bobbin; and use a needle with a larger eye, even when the thread seems very thin like the Sulky Original Metallics, Sulky Sliver Metallics, and Sulky Holoshimmer Metallics. It is not unusual to need to adjust the top tension on LA quilting machines when using decorative specialty threads.

Q. What about tension adjustments?

A. Adjusting tension can be more challenging on LA machines than domestic home sewing machines since there are no numbers or notches on LA machines. To simplify it, keep a log of how much you have turned the top tension either up or down (1/8, 1/4, 1/3, etc.) so you can find your way back to the setting you prefer when using what is your most common quilting thread.

Q. Why would I want to try the entire Sulky Line?

A. Cost. Thread is one of the smallest investments we make relative to the time, effort and money spent on fabric and notions. I prefer to spend slightly more to get the quality I can count on with Sulky Threads. Sulky also gives you the option to buy smaller spool put-ups, so, for the same investment, you can try a wide variety of Sulky fibers and colors for the same cost of several large cones. If you want more, virtually all of the Sulky Thread line is now available on Jumbo cones, over 840 SKU’s. If you have a quilting business with a resale tax number, these can be ordered right from sulky.com.

Another very important fact: The color you got from Sulky last year and the color you get today are the same. No more mismatched dye lots if you run out. Sulky’s computerized color matching minimizes dye lot variance. This means you can begin with the old stock while you order more with confidence.

    Blue Blendables definitely – on a Storm at Sea top that is in the works!

  186. Emily says:

    The Blendables are really visually appealing on the spool, I love verigated threads but haven’t tried Blendables yet. My grandmother knitted and when I was little there were so many soft, warm garments made with love from bright or pastel verigated yarns, I spent hours marveling at the patterns that emerged in the finished piece.

  187. Ann Maddox says:

  194. You can’t go wrong with any Sulky thread regardless of your project type. The embroidery colors are vibrant, blendables subtle and bobbin thread strong. I would love to try the polylite!

  195. Jenny Davidson says:

    I hate to differ with you…the dye color that the stores go by to re-stock their threads is not reliable enough…neither is the “scan” number…its the 3rd number in very fine print…that is just above….Made in Italy…That is what you need to go by to make certain your thread is the same dye-lot…I’ve had owners of fine quilt stores insist that the first number is all you need to use..To my eye and to an “Ott” light that I use at home..there is a fine difference…I was trying different threads for my “Winter Wonderland” quilt…DMC left a powdery dye dust and lint as I used it..Which I didn’t like at all. Then I tried different Sulky varigated Sulky threads…I found one that I kinda liked…but it was a little bit too much on the purplish red side…At the store…the owner insisted the same thread number was the same dye lot…I could tell there was a big diffence…her dye lot…was more on the varigated blue side…with none of that purplish red in it at all….I bought all three of her “blue” varigated and embroidered it next to the purplish red on …there was a big difference that I could tell…the blue varigated was a middle of the day…cold wintry look…while the redish purple one was a late cold wintry evening look…sun setting..The numbers are: Dye Lot…733 4056…then scan number..727072 540561…then the tiny number above Made in Italy…the redish purple one is 5156316 CA45688…the bluish one is : 30040566851611 CA45688 1/2…So…bring your magnifiers ladies…if you’re “picky” like me…

  197. BRENDA WHITELEY says:

    I have recently retired with high hopes of finally making all those quilt items for which I have been saving patterns and material!! I purchased a mid-long arm and i am trying to learn how to use it. I now have some of the Sulky books with lots of wonderful information. I am ready to fly….I really want to learn how to use the beautiful blendable threads to add whimsy and magic to my new quilt life. The older I get, the more color and magic I want in my life. Thank you Sulky for all your teaching aids.
