 Metallics
- Q: What is the difference between Sulky Original Metallic and Sulky Sliver Metallic?
- A: Sulky Original Metallic is a round, twisted thread that is created by twisting and bonding a fine metallic foil around a strong core to create an exceptionally smooth, strong and pliable thread that is a joy to work with. Add an elegant sparkle to your creativity with the 36 available colors, 21 solids, 9 multi-colors and 6 prism.
- Sulky Sliver Metallic is a thin, flat, ribbon-like polyester film that is metalized with aluminum to make it brilliantly reflective. Add ultimate sparkle to decorative projects with the 24 available colors, 22 solids and 2 multi-colors. Because Sulky Sliver is flat, it reflects more light than Sulky Original Metallic.
- All Sulky Metallics work well for both hand and machine applications and they are both machine washable and dry cleanable.
- For best results:
Always use a size 14/90 embroidery, top stitch or metallic
needle.
Set top tension on a lower setting.
Sew slower.
The bobbin thread should be the thinnest possible.
Hoop fabric tautly.
Stabilize properly - since metallics hate abrasion, avoid stiff,
coarse stabilizers.
Avoid short, tiny stitches because all metallics simply don't
bend well into small stitches.
Use Sliver on a vertical spool pin which allows the spool to
turn while stitching.
