Product Description
Green Metallic Thread for Decorative Stitching | 50 metres
Bring a natural, light-catching accent to your stitching with Gütermann Green Metallic Effect Thread. Designed for decorative work and machine embroidery, this specialist thread lays a precise, shimmering line that feels refined rather than flashy. The fresh green shade adds lift to quilting motifs, botanical outlines, tidy buttonholes and satin-stitch monograms, while polished top-stitching on bags, pouches and home décor gains a subtle, modern gleam. On pale fabrics it gives crisp definition; on darker grounds it reveals a sophisticated sparkle as the piece moves.
Constructed from 70% polyamide and 30% polyester, the thread balances strength with a smooth, supple handle for consistent stitch formation. It is suitable for hand and machine sewing, performing reliably across quilting cottons, linen blends, denim, wool and knitwear wherever a decorative effect is needed. In free-motion quilting it sharpens leaves, stems and echo lines; for bag makers it offers a clean, professional edge on straps, tabs and zip surrounds with a discreet metallic highlight.
For best results on a domestic machine, fit a Universal needle size 100–110 as recommended. Reduce speed slightly to allow the metallic filament to glide, and lengthen the stitch a touch on satin and decorative programmes to enhance the sheen. Pair with a fine, good-quality bobbin thread and test on a scrap; a small reduction in upper tension often yields an even, uninterrupted line. Ensure the spool feeds smoothly—vertical or horizontal, depending on your machine—to minimise twist and keep the finish consistent.
The green metallic tone is versatile year-round: festive stars and foliage on winter quilts, fresh botanical accents in spring, or crisp geometric highlights on contemporary patchwork. It partners beautifully with neutrals and low-volume prints, sits confidently against greys and charcoals, and sings alongside woodland palettes of teal, ochre and espresso. Makers who value quiet quality will appreciate how this thread elevates detail while allowing the fabric 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 Green Metallic Effect Thread when the brief is precise workmanship and a poised, light-catching finish.
