Abigail ★★★★★

I was hesitant to use metallic thread again after past breakage issues, but this one didn't snap once while I was stitching a decorative border. The 40-weight thickness gave nice definition without being too bulky, and it handled curves smoothly.

Richard ★★★★★

This thread runs through my machine like butter, no snagging or breaking even at high speed. The textured silver gives a beautiful subtle sparkle to my decorative quilting stitches. I’m thrilled with how smoothly it handled the dense seam on a cushion cover.

Carter F. ★★★★☆

Runs beautifully on my machine even at higher speeds, which I didn’t expect from a metallic thread. The silver sheen is subtle but gives a nice touch to decorative seams on my quilting projects. Only wish the spool were bigger, but the quality is solid.
