Superior Threads Fantastico #5027 Cha Cha Cone

Superior Threads Fantastico #5027 Cha Cha is a 40-weight, 2-ply variegated trilobal polyester thread wound on a generous 2,000-yard cone. Combining the warm, lively tones of red, purple, pink, and orange, Cha Cha adds movement and depth to quilting, machine embroidery, and decorative stitching without requiring constant thread changes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colors are included in Fantastico #5027 Cha Cha?

Fantastico #5027 Cha Cha is a variegated colorway that transitions through red, purple, pink, and orange. Because the color shifts occur along the length of the thread, the exact placement of each color in your finished project will vary depending on stitch length, design size, and sewing speed.

Is Fantastico thread suitable for machine embroidery as well as quilting?

Yes. Fantastico is specifically designed for both machine embroidery and quilting. Its 40-weight, 2-ply trilobal polyester construction runs smoothly through embroidery machine tension systems and produces a lustrous finish comparable to rayon, with the added durability and washability of polyester.

What needle should I use with Fantastico thread?

Superior Threads recommends a size 75/11 or 90/14 embroidery needle for use with Fantastico. An embroidery needle has a larger eye and a slightly rounded point that helps protect the thread from friction and fraying during high-speed stitching.

How much thread is on the cone, and is it enough for a full quilt project?

Each Fantastico cone contains 2,000 yards of thread. This is a generous put-up that is well suited for quilting projects, including free-motion quilting on mid-size quilt tops, as well as multiple embroidery designs. Exact yardage consumed will depend on stitch density and project size.

Does OSP Machines provide any support for selecting the right thread for my machine or project?

Yes. OSP Machines provides free support for the life of your machine, and that includes help with thread selection, troubleshooting tension issues, and matching thread to your specific project or equipment. You can contact the OSP Machines support team at any time after your purchase.
