Floriani Premium Metallic Embroidery Thread 40wt

Product Description

Many embroiderers will not attempt to use Metallic Thread. They have been frustrated time and time again with broken threads, broken needles, and ruined garments. Finally, Floriani has introduced the perfect metallic embroidery thread designed to be used at high speeds on most machines. The Floriani Premium Metallic Threads are created with a solid polyester inter-core. The polyester core is coated with brilliant metallic colors and then coated with a special lubricating hardener to prevent the metal from flaking. This special lubricant also allows the Floriani Metallic Thread to flow evenly and without restriction through your machine. Most metallic thread manufacturers will advise users to replace their machine needle with a large eye needle before using their metallic thread. Still, with Floriani Premium Metallic Thread this is not necessary. Use the same needle as used for regular polyester or rayon threads. Floriani Premium Metallic Thread has 880 yards of thread per spool!

1. Make sure the design you wish to embroider is digitized for metallic thread. You may experience thread breaks if it is not.
2. Avoid using metallic thread for extremely detailed or dense embroidery such as small lettering.
3. Most machines will run metallic thread best with less-than-normal tension settings.
4. Choose the proper Floriani stabilizer for your weight of fabric and keep in mind metallic threads look their best when embroidered on soft fabrics that are not coarse.
5. Some machines may need to run metallic threads at a slower speed.
6. Be sure to use a fine bobbin thread if possible.
