I don't think I've heard of metallic threads in the stitching. I've seen contrast stitching where the stitching used is the opposite color of the garment color, but nothing metallic.

There are lots of manufacturers in asia...I'm sure there are some that could produce what you're looking for. It's just a matter of sourcing them and communicating what you need. Places like alibaba.com are a good place to start.

I have used those threads as well. They are not too bad to use, and i agree with Pat they are kinda hard on the needles. I am not familiar with any companies in China but i am sure that you could find an embroidery company near you that could help you out.
