Embroidery can make all the difference – enhancing a product and giving it a personal touch. The threads used are not just a means to an end – depending on their quality, they can be an important design element. Diverse, high-precision embroidery techniques are also becoming increasingly important in technical areas, where they fulfil numerous functions. As extensive the range of applications, as high the demands on the colour and quality of the threads. Creativity and productivity are given free rein with our range of FOOAN embroidery threads.

Brilliant & fashionable

Classic embroidery enchants us with its creativity and colour, and sets fashion trends. As well as its brilliant appearance, classic embroidery also demands the best characteristics in use. Extreme colourfastness and wash resistance, good chemical and mechanical resistance and perfect embroidering performance are essential.

Matt

Sometimes a matt effect is required, because not all embroidery needs to shine. Matt embroidery looks classy and creates natural rustic effects.

Metallic

Metallic embroidery and metallic details create special highlights. They look classy and emphasise a very particular style, and are essential for embroidered uniforms, nautical fashion or insignia.

Filigree & monograms

Embroidered lettering for monograms, labels or strips of labels has to be worked delicately and finely. The smallest sizes of less than 4 millimeters are fashionable. They require an extremely fine embroidery thread which can also accurately produce the smallest symbol. The same applies to the details and contours of creative embroidery.

Coarse decorative embroidery

Embroidery can also be used on heavy fabrics like leather or in the automotive sector. For these application it is important to use a coarse embroidery thread.

Glow-in-the-dark

Glow-in-the-dark threads make embroidery a real eye catcher. They go in and out of fashion, as a highlight for special applications.

Technical & functional

Technical embroidery offers high potential for innovation and is becoming more and more important. Challenging functional tasks can be solved through its high precision and absolute reproducibility, and it offers customised solutions such as those used for sewing fibre-reinforced composites.

Flame-retardant

Flame-retardant and self-extinguishing: these qualities frequently feature in specifications for embroidery on workwear.

Bobbin thread

The bobbin thread is frequently overlooked, yet it is so important for all machine embroidery. Along with sufficient strength, a fine ticket is required in order to achieve highest running length and thus maximum economy.
