Thread Use Calculator NEW!

Here's a few useful tips when sewing with metallic threads.
  • Use a DBXK5, DBX7ST or DBX9ST type needle. These needles have a slightly larger eye that allows for the metallic thread to move freely through the needle.
  • Keep your machine speed down to 750 spm or lower.
  • Keep your top thread tensions as loose as possible.
  • Avoid stitches less than 3 mm in length when working with metallics threads.

The above tips are recommendations and does not indicate that they can not be used outside these specifications. Yenmet metallics perform well at higher speeds and more tension. When running ZSK embroidery machines not special modifications are needed to run metallic threads.

Yenmet Washing Instructions

Colored embroidery should always be washed separately.

A large washing tub should be used so that the embroidered article can circulate freely and is not pressed together.

Dry embroidered garments quickly, but never wring out. Prolonged contact, pressure, or friction with other garments under wet conditions is to be avoided.

Only light duty washing powder is to be used. Bleaching agents, heavy duty detergents or stain removers may cause slight color changes.

Garments embroidered with Yenmet are not recommended for industrial laundering.

Yenmet embroidered garments may be dry- cleaned.

Storage

Avoid direct sunlight and keep stored in a cool place. (68 F, 60% atm. humidity)

Ironing

Dampen slightly before ironing then iron from the back side. Always use the lowest heat setting over embroidery.

Avoid continuous contact to irons, heat press systems, etc.

Use caution when using heat pressure systems! Varying factors such as temperature, pressure, vapor and duration of contact may cause unpredictable results. A test of materials is highly recommended.

Additional Tips

Contact with acids, sulfur, active chlorine, saltwater or heavy perspiration in combination with a long exposure in direct sunlight should be avoided.
