Glitter

Description

Superior Threads Glitter is a specialty 40 wt metallic thread designed to add maximum sparkle and shine to quilting, embroidery, and decorative stitching projects.

🧵 Key Features:
✔️ 40 weight metallized polyester with a holographic mylar finish
✔️ 4-ply construction—stronger than many traditional metallic threads
✔️ Flat thread design creates intense light-catching shimmer
✔️ Reduced breakage compared to standard metallics when used correctly
✔️ Typically comes in 400 yd spools

✂️ Best Uses:
Decorative quilting (top stitching)
Machine embroidery
Appliqué accents
Holiday & seasonal projects (this is a BIG seller 👀)
Costume, craft, and novelty sewing

👉 This is not a piecing thread—it’s meant to be seen and sparkle.

✨ What Makes It Special:
Holographic finish gives a true glitter effect (not just metallic shine)
Smooth feeding for a metallic thread when using proper setup
Available in vibrant solids + variegated colors

⚙️ Recommended Setup:
Use a Topstitch or Metallic needle (90/14)
Lower top tension (around 1.0)
Feed thread from the side of the spool to reduce twist
Pair with a smooth bobbin thread like Bottom Line

🧠 Quick Comparison:
Glitter (40 wt metallic) → sparkle & decorative stitching
King Tut (40 wt cotton) → bold quilting without shine
MasterPiece (50 wt cotton) → piecing (no bulk, subtle)

✨ Why Quilters Love It:
Eye-catching sparkle that stands out on quilts
Stronger and smoother than many metallic threads
Perfect for adding personality and “wow” factor
