Sulky Metallic Thread 250yd-Opalescent

I got this to add sparkle to a crocheted item with yarn that already had a shimmer to it. It adds just the right about of bling without being too much. I barely even used the one spool, so I'll have plenty more for other projects. Highly recommended for the magpie crocheter.

This added the perfect embellishment to my patchwork quilting on the back of my jean jacket.

So pretty the embroidery dragonfly came out so nice

Nice thread, but I was expecting it to be silvery as in the description. Instead it is clear, but, shimmery.

Hard to get off the cone, but very shiny and pretty.

Perfect! Exactly what I needed.

It's very hard to use because it tangles easily. I used it to try to grid 40 and 36 fabric. It kept knotting. Finally gave up and used DMC Metalics, and it works well.

I mainly use this thread to blend with another color in a small area, to add some sparkle or pop. This works really well threaded as a second thread in my embroidery machine. have to slow the stitches per minute, but it rarely breaks or tangles. Again, it's for small areas, it's not great for large ones. Even the best machines don't want to run double threads for very long. But this thread works very well.

Recomendable

Love Love Love the sparkle is just Mmmm

I already had one spool of this thread on hand that I purchased awhile back locally. I wanted another to ensure I didn't run out on my quilt and this thread is a little difficult to find in stores. I was super happy to see it here on Amazon and the product I received is identical to the one I already had. This thread is super pretty and gives a nice metallic accent to your projects. The thread looks good on a number of different colours and takes on a different colour depending on your fabric. Being a metallic thread you will want to ensure you adjust your tension and may wish to use a top-stitch needle that has a bigger eye and groove to help with the friction on the thread. I also really like the fact that you can press the top of the spool upwards with your thumb and it will extend creating a groove to trap your thread end into before securing it back in place. I've tried to show this in the picture if you haven't noticed this feature before. The pictures really don't do this thread justice as it's hard to see the highlighting but it turns out very nice. I would definitely recommend and order again. I hope this review was helpful!

Hard to find in stores. Great for machine quilting

Es demasiado delgado, muy difícil de bordar.
