This time, we used four popular types of glitter thread to compare their finishes with the same embroidery design 🪡!
Here are the four we compared:
Stitch & Stitch
Metallic Gold Sewing Thread
Lame Stage
Lamecs
1. Three Types of Sparkling "Glitter Thread"
(Stitch & Stitch / Lame Stage / Lamecs)
What these three types have in common is a star-like sparkle ✨.
A characteristic feature is their soft texture.
＜Lame Stage＞
The thinnest of the four, with an elegant sheen.
A popular glitter thread, loved by many artists because the glitter doesn't easily snag on delicate organza fabric.
＜Lamecs ＞
Thicker than Lame Stage, characterized by an increased glittery finish in embroidery.
Since the twist is slightly loose, it's recommended not only for embroidery but also for strand knitting.
2. "Metallic Gold Sewing Thread" with a Luxurious All-Over Shine
This thread has an all-over shine, like the gold and silver paper of origami, unique to metallic threads.
Compared to glitter thread, it's slightly stiffer, but when actually stitched, it didn't snag on the fabric, and embroidery was smooth 😄. It has a luxurious sparkle ✨ characteristic of metallic threads.
3. Convenient Uses for "Metallic Gold Sewing Thread"
Because the core thread is strong, it's recommended not only for embroidery but also for these uses:
Tassel making: For fastening parts that will be pulled.
Bead embroidery: For sewing on beads where strength is required.
It's a metallic thread that combines practicality with its resistance to breakage 🪡.
Just by changing the thread, the expression of the same design can change dramatically.
Please try using them differently according to the image you want to create.
