**VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE - PLEASE READ CAREFULLY**
Unfortunately the website is still closed and will be until further notice whilst we continue to deal with family issues. Whilst the website's been closed our website developer decided that it was a perfect opportunity to deal with all the logistical problems we've been having. She decided the best option was to build a brand new website to resolve these problems. Hopefully it won't be much longer to wait and we look forward to welcoming you back to the new and improved Jenny Adin-Christie Embroidery shop. We are sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your continued patience and understanding. See you all very soon. Jenny and the team.

Description

These beautiful fine Japanese metallic tapes are another favourite new acquisition. They are coated in a very fine layer of real metal and thus have a delicious, sparkling sheen. They are soft, strong and fine (1.5mm), and they stitch effectively directly through the fabric using a no. 24 chenille needle. They can therefore be used to work many surface embroidery stitches, giving them a delicate twinkling quality.

Use them with a laying tool such as a mellor or aficot to encourage them to sit flat and slide smoothly through the fabric. They can also be used for pleating in the same manner as rolled metal ‘plate’ but are much much softer and therefore easier to handle and can be plunged through the fabric to finish at ends. I have used them in the feathers of the Peacock.

The tapes come in 25m lengths, and in a colour choice of Turquoise or Bronze.
