The All Superior Metallics Threads collection at Linda’s Electric Quilters features the complete lineup of Superior Threads’ metallic thread products — high-performance threads designed to add brilliant, light-catching shimmer to quilting, embroidery, and decorative stitching projects. Superior is renowned for producing metallic threads that run smoothly through machines with minimal breakage, giving you the sparkle without the frustration.
What makes Superior metallic thread easier to sew with?
Superior Metallics threads are engineered with a smooth coating and precision construction that reduces the friction and fragility typical of metallic threads. Using the correct needle (size 90/14 metallic needle) and reducing machine speed further minimizes breakage.
What weight are Superior Metallics threads?
Superior Metallics threads are available in multiple weights including 40-weight and finer options. Check individual product listings for specific weight information and best-use recommendations for each thread in the lineup.
Can I use Superior metallic thread in my longarm machine?
Yes — Superior Metallics are designed for use in both domestic and longarm machines. Slow the machine speed slightly, use a metallic needle, and reduce upper tension to allow the thread to feed smoothly without breaking.
What projects are Superior metallic threads best for?
Superior Metallics shine in wholecloth quilts, holiday projects, decorative borders, and any application where you want the thread itself to be a featured design element. They are also popular for accent stitching on garments and home décor.
