    New Metallic Thread & Free Embroidery Design on Holly Bag

    August 18, 2020 /

    New Metallic Thread, You Ask? Yes, that’s right! Poly Sparkle™, a new 30 wt. metallic-flecked thread is now available at sulky.com! This thread is polyester with “stars” of metallic running through it. If you’ve ever had difficulty sewing with metallic thread, this one’s for you. NEW METALLIC THREAD: POLY SPARKLE At 30 wt., this thread is similar to the traditional Sulky Original Metallic, Holoshimmer™ and Sliver™ varieties, giving more coverage for free-motion work and machine embroidery. And with only flecks of metallic, the thread withstands more friction and tension, resulting in little to no thread breakage with high speed stitching. Use a size 90/14 needle when stitching the new metallic…
