Read about my visit to Au Ver à Soie in Paris
I have tried all kinds of metallic threads. I have been frustrated and horrified by the breakage, curling and fraying. I tried shorter lengths, couching and forgoing sparkle altogether. I saw a review of this product and purchased it, but had little hope it would be better. The reviewer was right.
I am a believer, it lays where I place it, threads easily and blends with other threads well.
I will add it to my collection and purchase more in the future.
I love stitching with the Au Ver a Soie metallics. They slide through the fabric without any problems. And it is beautiful.
This thread is amazing. It's so easy to work with, which is the case with other metallic thread.
