Product Description
Blue Metallic Thread for Decorative Stitching | 50 metres
Give your stitching a clean, contemporary gleam with Gütermann Blue Metallic Effect Thread. Developed for decorative work and machine embroidery, this specialist filament lays a precise, light-catching line that looks polished rather than flashy. The saturated blue shade delivers crisp definition on light fabrics, a sophisticated glint on dark grounds, and a confident highlight on modern prints—ideal for accent quilting, neat buttonholes, satin-stitch monograms, outline work on appliqué, and refined top-stitching on bags and accessories.
Engineered from a robust 70% polyamide / 30% polyester blend, the thread combines tensile strength with a smooth, supple handle so stitches form cleanly and consistently. It suits hand and machine sewing across quilting cottons, linen blends, denim, wool and knitwear wherever a decorative effect is desired. In free-motion quilting it sharpens echo lines, waves and stars; in bag making it gives straps, tabs and zip surrounds a professional edge with a discreet metallic highlight.
For dependable results on a domestic machine, fit a Universal needle size 100–110 as recommended and ease your speed slightly so the metallic filament can glide. Lengthen the stitch a touch on satin and decorative programmes to enhance the sheen and avoid compacting. Pair with a fine, good-quality bobbin thread, test on a scrap, and nudge the upper tension down if needed for a smooth, uninterrupted line. Allow the spool to feed freely—vertical or horizontal, depending on your machine—to minimise twist and keep the finish even.
Because the blue metallic tone carries depth as well as light, it is a versatile choice year-round. Use it for winter motifs and starbursts, clean geometric accents on contemporary piecing, or a crisp outline along bindings and facings. It partners beautifully with neutrals and low-volume prints, stands strong against charcoal and black, and sings alongside teal, navy and icy greys. Makers who value quiet quality will appreciate how this thread lifts detail while letting the fabric remain the focus.
Produced to Gütermann’s exacting standards, the Metallic Effect range supports clean, durable results across patchwork and quilting, home décor sewing, accessories, bag making, general craft projects and textile arts. Choose Gütermann Blue Metallic Effect Thread when the brief is precise workmanship with a poised, light-catching finish.
