Sewing thread Brother Marathon metallic 3013 dark gold, 1000 m spool

Brother Marathon metallic sewing thread 3013 in dark gold on a 1000 m spool is a metallic-finish thread designed for decorative and practical stitching. It delivers a visible metallic sheen suitable for embellishment on garments, home textiles and craft projects. The spool size and thread construction are intended for consistent feed in domestic and industrial sewing machines that accept metallic threads, enabling long continuous sewing runs and detailed decorative work.

Advantages

The metallic composition provides an eye-catching sheen while maintaining sufficient strength for decorative seams and light functional stitching. A long 1000 m spool reduces thread changes during large projects and helps keep sewing interruptions to a minimum. The thread is manufactured to feed smoothly through machine tension assemblies and guides, minimizing breakage and ensuring even stitch formation when used with appropriate settings and needles.

Suitable for

• Decorative topstitching and embroidery on clothing
• Home décor accents such as cushions, curtains and table linens
• Craft projects including appliqué, quilting accents and costume embellishment
• Visible contrast stitching and outlining on fashion garments

How to use

Use this Brother Marathon metallic thread with a needle and machine settings appropriate for metallic threads. Install a metallic or topstitch needle of the recommended size for your fabric to reduce shredding. Adjust tension and stitch length to suit the fabric and decorative effect; slightly larger stitch length and lower upper tension often improve results with metallic threads. Wind the spool onto a suitable stand or holder to ensure smooth supply, and test on a scrap of the same fabric to verify stitch quality before sewing the final piece.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, pair the metallic thread with a matching polyester or cotton-wrapped polyester bobbin thread and use reduced sewing speed. When machine embroidery or dense decorative stitching is planned, use a stabilizer under the work to prevent puckering and secure the metallic threads from excessive friction that can cause breakage.
