Product Description
Gold Metallic Thread for Decorative Stitching | 50 metres
Bring a warm, timeless gleam to your stitching with Gütermann Gold Metallic Effect Thread. Designed for decorative work and machine embroidery, this specialist filament lays a precise, light-catching line that reads polished rather than brash. The soft gold tone adds elegance to quilting motifs, satin-stitch monograms, tidy buttonholes and outline work on appliqué, while top-stitching on bags, pouches and home décor gains a refined, jewellery-like highlight. On pale grounds it delivers a clean champagne sheen; on darker fabrics it reveals a sophisticated glint as the piece moves.
Engineered from 70% polyamide and 30% polyester, the thread balances durability with a smooth, supple handle for consistent stitch formation. It suits hand and machine sewing, performing reliably across quilting cottons, linen blends, denim, wool and knitwear wherever a decorative effect is desired. In free-motion quilting, it crisps up echo lines, stars and scrolls; for bag makers, it gives straps, tabs and zip surrounds a neat, professional edge with a discreet metallic accent.
For dependable results on a domestic machine, fit a Universal needle size 100–110 as recommended. Ease the speed slightly to let the metallic filament glide, and lengthen the stitch a touch on satin and decorative programmes—this enhances the sheen and avoids compacting. Pair with a fine, good-quality bobbin thread, test your settings on a scrap, and nudge the upper tension down if needed to achieve a smooth, uninterrupted line. Allow the spool to feed freely—vertical or horizontal, depending on your machine—to reduce twist and keep the finish even.
Because the gold metallic colour carries warmth as well as light, it is a versatile choice year-round: festive snowflakes and stars, classic borders on heirloom quilts, crisp geometry on modern piecing, or a subtle gleam along bindings and facings. It partners beautifully with neutrals and low-volume prints, sits confidently beside navy, forest, burgundy and charcoal, and lends a luxurious accent to monochrome schemes. Makers who value quiet quality will appreciate how this thread elevates detail while allowing fabric and form to lead.
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 crafts and textile arts. Choose Gütermann Gold Metallic Effect Thread when precise workmanship and a poised, light-catching finish are the brief.
