Superior Metallics Spools

The Superior Metallics Spools collection at Linda’s Electric Quilters features Superior Threads’ metallic thread in convenient spool format — ideal for domestic sewing machines and specialty embroidery work where you want brilliant shimmer without the bulk of a full cone. These spools make Superior’s renowned metallic thread accessible for home sewists and quilters who use metallic thread for accent work and seasonal projects.

What size are the Superior Metallics spools?

Superior Metallics spools typically contain several hundred yards — enough for accent work, borders, and smaller decorative projects. Check individual product listings for specific yardage information per spool.

Are Superior metallic spools compatible with my domestic sewing machine?

Yes — Superior Metallics spools are sized and designed for use in domestic sewing and embroidery machines. Use a metallic needle, reduce machine speed, and decrease upper tension slightly for best results with metallic thread.

What needle should I use with metallic thread?

A size 90/14 metallic embroidery needle is strongly recommended for use with metallic thread. Metallic needles have a larger eye and special coating that reduce the friction that causes metallic thread to fray and break.

What colors are available in the Superior Metallics Spools collection?

Superior Metallics spools are available in a dazzling range of metallic colors including classic gold, silver, and copper as well as colored metallics in red, green, blue, purple, and multicolor options. Browse the collection to find your perfect shimmer.
