A textile fabrication system for creating a textile panel having a glistening multicolor appearance, using a foil panel, thread, a board, and a backer panel. The board has a first edge, second edge, a front, and a rear. The thread is wound repeatedly on the board across the front from the first edge to second edge, and across the rear to create a threaded area. The foil panel is adhered to the thread in the threaded area on the front, and then is unwound onto a spool, fragmenting the foil as it remains adhered to the thread. The coated thread may be rewound onto the front of the board, and then attached to a backer panel to create a textile panel. The coated threads are cut along the first edge and the textile panel is removed from the board for use in a garment.

A moldable wire thread insert for reinforcing a screw-in opening of a component has the following characteristics: a cylindrical spiral made of a helically, wound wire, the neighboring coils of which are arranged such that a closed cylindrical spiral wall is present, while at least one end of the cylindrical spirals has a fastening flange, which extends radially outwards over the cylindrical spiral wall and with which the wire thread insert is anchorable in the component and/or one end of the cylindrical spiral is designed in a planar manner in order to form an even axial front surface of the cylindrical spiral.
