Enchanted Quilting Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I have a customer quilt that would look great with some cream/off white thread with a shimmer to it? Any longarm friendly thread suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Charlotte you can use Metro thread. Beautiful shimmer, very subtle and quilts great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamarack Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Highlights from Superior Threads as a cream colour that has a nice shimmer to it. I have used it on quilts made with Asian fabrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merryjo2003 Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I like Fil-tec Glide first choice, Metro second. They both have a shine and run well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoriasews Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I've just started using Glide and it gives a beautiful shine. I've had perfect tension with it and didn't have to adjust the tension at all after normally using Superior SoFine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
