Product Description
Light Blue Metallic Thread for Decorative Stitching | 50 metres
Bring a cool, airy shimmer to your makes with Gütermann Light Blue Metallic Effect Thread. Purpose-built for decorative stitching and machine embroidery, this specialist filament lays a precise, light-catching line that reads polished rather than flashy. The pale blue tone adds lift and clarity to quilting motifs, snowflake details, crisp monograms, and tidy buttonholes, while top-stitching on bags, pouches and home décor gains a refined, contemporary gleam. On white and low-volume prints it offers a clean, frosted highlight; on mid to dark grounds it reveals a subtle 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 across quilting cottons, linen blends, denim, wool and knitwear whenever a decorative effect is needed. In free-motion quilting, it defines echo lines, stars and geometric repeats; for bag making, it adds a neat professional edge to straps, tabs and zip surrounds with a discreet metallic accent.
For dependable results on a domestic machine, fit a Universal needle size 100–110 as recommended and drop the speed slightly to let the metallic filament 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 your settings on a scrap, and nudge the upper tension down if required for a smooth, uninterrupted line. Allow the spool to feed freely—vertical or horizontal, depending on your machine—to minimise twist and maintain an even finish.
Because the light blue metallic colour carries a gentle coolness, it complements winter palettes, coastal schemes and modern monochromes alike. Use it to outline appliqué, edge-stitch facings, accent channel quilting, or add a crisp glimmer to bindings. It pairs beautifully with greys and charcoals, softens neutrals, and sings alongside navy, teal and ice-blue prints. Makers who value quiet quality will appreciate how this thread elevates detail without asking for centre stage.
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 Light Blue Metallic Effect Thread when the brief is precise workmanship with a calm, light-catching finish.
