Art. 997 Metallic machine embroidery thread has an excellent value due to the more economical aluminum coating, yet retains the strong durable construction of the thread. A reduction of the metallised wrapping produces a slightly thinner thread than FS No.45 and allows the Trilobal Polyester Core to gleam. The emerging two colour tone unveils a subtle multi-purpose thread of elegant tarnish with an antique glitter effect. Trouble free stitching is garanteed at top speeds for fashionable designs and decorative stitching including promotional items and badges.
