annettequilts Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 What kind/brand/wt of thread should I use if I want something that has a sheen is not real thin - I want it to show up - but is not a metallic? I have some Aurifil 40 wt that I think is for an embroidery machine... I have used it before and I want a heavier - thicker - look but I like that sheen! Any suggestions? It is for this quilt pictured below THANK YOU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitaR Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Annette, Do you have any Superior Brytes?? I was going thru my threads today, putting them away, and noticed it has a sheen but not a shine. That might look good, it\'s a poly 30/3. thicker than Bottom Line/Sew Fine but not quite as heavy as King Tut. The one I have is a dark olive, really close to what I\'m seeing as your darker green, on my monitor. I have to say that is one beautiful quilt.. just a few steps beyond what I\'m up to for now.. maybe.. one day. Good Luck. RitaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Ohhh...I agree with Rita that a little shiny thread would be so pretty! That quilt just screams "LOOK AT ME!!!" I can\'t wait to see what you finally decide. It will be stunning, I am sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
