Madeira Metallic No. 40 is an incredibly strong thread that won't compromise a beautiful look and finish. A premium thread without paying a premium price. For best results, we recommend the use of the special Metallic Machine Needle.

With a revolutionary process that bonds a shimmery foil wrap to a thread core, Madeira has created metallic thread that is the sturdiest you can buy. This precision German engineering makes Madeira metallics durable enough for home dec, from holiday table runners to accented throw pillows, yet soft enough to add sparkle to your most elegant evening wear.

A typical embroidery design contains 6,000 stitches. This means each 1100 yard/1000 m Value Spool with its nearly 200,000 stitches per spool will produce 200 designs on average. A perfect size for cottage businesses doing multiple designs as well as for those high-use colors.

Madeira's more traditional spool shape eliminates the "drop off" and tangling problems associated with the elongated spools many other manufacturers use. And, all Madeira spools come with double locking end caps to keep thread neat and tidy.
