sequinssmall

Sequinssmall is a textiles designation used to describe ultra‑small sequins intended for micro‑embellishment on fabrics. Typically measuring about 0.8 to 2.0 millimeters in diameter, sequinssmall are finer than standard sequins and are chosen when a subtle shimmer or lighter fabric hand is required.

Materials and finishes vary. Common options include plastic polymers such as PET for lightweight applications, as well as metallic alloys or glass coatings for higher luster. Finishes range from metallic and iridescent to holographic and matte. Most sequinssmall have a single central hole for sewing, though some designs feature two holes or an adhesive backing for glue‑on use.

Manufacturing methods include die‑cutting or punching from thin sheets of film or metal, followed by coating or plating as needed. Some micro‑sequins are produced as pre‑attached components on backing sheets for embroidery machines, while others are sold loose for hand or machine stitching. The small size often requires precise thread work and careful handling to avoid fabric distortion.

Applications for sequinssmall span haute couture, ready‑to‑wear, swimwear, stage costumes, accessories, and crafts. Their minute scale enables dense coverage, fine line work, and subtle texture without excessive bulk, but they can demand finer stitching and more meticulous quality control. Care considerations include gentle laundering or dry cleaning and avoiding abrasive surfaces that may snag delicate micro‑sequins. See also sequins and embroidery.
