Review on πŸ“¦ Sulky Metallics Slimline Dream Assortment Storage Box: Organize Your Metallic Threads in Style! by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Everything looks beautiful

I'm still getting used to the different thread textures and how they work with my machine. Holo shimmers are my favorites for machine sewing, and regular metallic ones are a bit slippery and tend not to last as long (thread breaks, stitches start to skip). All are beautiful to look at. Everyone will do great at hand sewing. I have not used/tried extensive use of metal coils without tape. Used one as a spool for a holosimmer - found thin cotton was better for the spool to carry on. Although the presence of a metal coating on both the top and the spool has prevented the thread from showing through when there are thickness changes as I sew over the various layers of fused fabric. Overall, I'm impressed with how well the thread holds through multiple layers of fabric and melds "garbage". This is the only brand I can recommend. Love love love having the whole collection in one tote bag! Feel able to take on any project that would benefit from a metallic thread.

Pros
