Most computer embroidery designs are digitized for Sulky 40 wt. Rayon Thread. A size12/80 machine needle is most commonly used with Sulky 40 wt. Rayon, unless the thickness of the fabric/stabilizer calls for a 14/90. It can also be used in the bobbin when working on projects where having the same color bobbin thread as top thread is important. Normally for embroidery work, Sulky Bobbin Thread is most widely used in the bobbin in both white or black. Note: 40 wt. snap-spools have black printing on the spool.
