Product Description
Turquoise Metallic Thread for Decorative Stitching | 50 metres
Bring a fresh, contemporary gleam to your sewing with Gütermann Turquoise Metallic Effect Thread. Crafted for decorative stitching and machine embroidery, this specialist thread lays down a crisp, light-catching line that feels elegant rather than showy. The vibrant turquoise shade introduces a lively accent to quilting motifs, sashiko-style details, tidy buttonholes, monograms, and polished top-stitching on bags, pouches, and home décor. It complements greys and charcoals, brightens neutrals and low-volume prints, and works seamlessly with sea-inspired palettes or bold modern tones.
Made from a robust 70% polyamide and 30% polyester blend, the thread balances strength with a smooth, supple handle for reliable stitch formation. Suitable for hand and machine sewing, it performs consistently across quilting cottons, linen blends, denim, wool, and knitwear whenever a decorative touch is needed. In free-motion quilting it sharpens motifs and echo lines; on bag straps, zip surrounds, and bindings it adds a neat, professional finish with subtle shimmer.
For optimum performance on a domestic machine, fit a Universal needle size 100–110 as recommended. Slow the speed slightly to allow the metallic filament to glide, and lengthen the stitch for satin and decorative programmes to enhance the sheen. Pair with a fine, good-quality bobbin thread and check your tension on a test piece—slight adjustments often result in smooth, even stitches. Ensure the spool feeds freely, whether vertical or horizontal, to avoid twisting and maintain a steady finish.
The turquoise metallic tone is versatile and season-spanning: crisp snowflakes or festive details in winter, bright botanical highlights in spring, or striking accents in contemporary patchwork designs. It’s equally suited to outlining appliqué, adding sparkle to bindings, or emphasising channel quilting with a touch of light. Makers seeking refinement will value how this thread enhances details while allowing fabrics to remain the star.
Produced to Gütermann’s trusted standards, the Metallic Effect range delivers clean, professional results for patchwork and quilting, home décor sewing, accessories, bag making, general crafts, and textile arts. Choose Gütermann Turquoise Metallic Effect Thread when you want precise workmanship paired with a modern, luminous finish.
