Sulky Sliver Metallic - #8054 Red

You will be dazzled at how brilliantly reflective Sulky Sliver™ Metallic Thread is. Sulky Sliver is a thin, flat, ribbon-like, (solid-color) foil that is laminated with polyester, which makes it brilliantly reflective so you can add the ultimate sparkle to all of your decorative projects. Works perfectly on sewing, serging, and knitting machines, and for handwork.Recommended Needle Size: 14/90, 14/90 Metallic or 14/90 Topstitch as well as a vertical spool pin.

Helpful Hints

  • All metallics do not like abrasion and small stitches; Metallics do not bend well into small stitches
  • Use a lightweight thread in the bobbin, either a matching Sulky 40 Wt. Rayon Thread, Sulky Bobbin Thread or Polyester Invisible Thread.
  • Set top tension on a lower setting; sew slower; use the thinnest possible bobbin thread; hoop fabric tautly; stabilize properly; avoid stiff, coarse stabilizers and short, tiny stitches.
  • With Sulky Metallics on top, many experts like to use Sulky Polyester Invisible thread in the bobbin to eliminate “thread-pull-ups”.
  • Always use at least a size 14/90 Metallic, embroidery, or Topstitch needle with all Sulky Metallics. Set top tension on a lower setting; sew slower; use the thinnest possible bobbin thread; hoop fabric tautly; stabilize properly; avoid stiff, coarse stabilizers and short, tiny stitches. AND To avoid thread breakage, put Sulky Sliver on a vertical spool pin so the spool turns as the thread comes off, causing the thread to remain flat from the spool all the way into the tension area.
  • Many quilters who love making "watercolor" quilts find the Sulky Sliver Opalescent #8040 ideal, since it beautifully reflects the color of whatever fabric it crosses.
  • All Sulky thread spools have at least one "snap spool" end - including the King Size, Maxi-Spools, and Jumbo Cones. Gently lift up the end with your thumb, release the thread, then snap it closed. To secure the thread when your sewing is completed, gently lift the end with your thumb, wind the thread into the gap, and snap it closed.
  • Sulky Sliver Metallic threads begin as a thin, flat, ribbon-like (solid-color) foil that is laminated with polyester, which makes them brilliantly reflective so you can add the ultimate sparkle to all of your decorative projects.
  • It may be helpful to use a lubricant on the needle such as Sewer's Aid or Tri-Flo to help the thread glide more smoothly without leaving residue on your project
