This is going to help me out a bunch not to mention saving $. Keep these tutorials coming please. Your are so good at them, you are so straightforward on your comments and don't pull any punches. Thanks Love you!
Thanks for the tutorial on metallic threads. I had to idea how many was out their and such different in fiber and how they work. This will help for sure. You are a wonderful teacher and so helpful for all of us.
Thank you so much for this video (and all your others too). I've found them all so helpful. I've found it very hard to find this kind of information presented in such a clear and friendly way. It's made my stitching time a lot more fun so thank you again.
Thanks for this information! I have never used any metallic floss, other than Kreinik. Any time I stitch a pattern calling for Kreinik, I almost dread it, as I struggle with it. Thread Heaven is a must with Kreinik in my hands.
I always thought that you had to use a single thread each of DMC & metallic. Don't ask me WHERE I thought that I'd heard that! It was always a pain in the rear to use. I'm gonna try it your way after watching your video. No wonder I've always veered away from using it! LOL Next project, I'm gonna do it right.
Thanks Danielle I had no idea there were that many metallics out there. I tried Petite Treasure Braid on my spider web piece because you said how much you love it. I am on the same page I will use it every time. I love using it.
very nice and very helpfull ... we have here in turkey madira thread its german company its 6 strand also and very nice to stitch with ... thanks for all your hard work dear we really appreciate it👑💜👑💜👑
Thanks Danielle. I have always used Kreinik with Thread heaven. I like the #4 braid, but hate the blending filament. I will try the Petite Treasure braid to see what it is like. I was using the Nordic Gold on a pattern I am doing. It is the most horrible metallic I have ever used. It would unravel while sewing and a 10 inch piece would stretch to 20 inches. I will never use it again. Great video.
Thank you so much for these videos that you have been doing lately. For as of as I am (in my mid-fifty' s +). Now that I'm getting back into it. After a very long time away from it. Things really have changed a lot . I should have never stop doing it when I was in my early twenty's. But, I'm glad that I'm doing it again. I was embarrass to ask.
Thank you so much for a great video. I haven't used metallic threads, not sure if I will. I prefer primitive stitches, but is great to know which ones to order if I decided to give them a try.
Thanks for this :) I've been stitching with DMC light effects for 2 days and luckily it's not driving me crazy. There are 25 colours. Been tying the ends so they don't fray. Not used kreinik before. Have used PTB on my HAED and whilst it is easier and best value for money out of the three, I find it a bit thin. Perhaps I will buy a selection and try them all out like you have.
Thread Magic. Many like the container better. Biggest difference is the price. Thread Magic is the more expensive, or, at least it was the last time I could find both at JoAnns.
Belinda Cantle I do not do French knots. Someone else asked me to do a tutorial and I was like nope. Haha. I ALWAYS substitute beads. For eyes I will use petite sized beads.
I appreciate all of the videos on glitter thread, but I have yet to find a video with the glitter thread being used in hand embroidery on a baby quilt or the real thin fabric before it's quilted. you all just showed the canvas type. Why not on the other material? It's a lot more difficult and frustrating than the canvas type. So any and all tips will be so welcomed for the glitter thread sewers. So hopefully, next time I won't get flustered and throw it across the room. Thanks so much. Sharon. P.s. I have learned the hard way using this glitter thread how to actually get good at it, but can still use help. Thx again.
I did a search on your channel for blending filament. What is it? How and when do you use it? I saw the video on blending threads and mettalics. Carolyn Mazzeo has a fantastic video on DMC light effects. Her way takes a little longer but wow is it beautiful. I don't know if you've watched it. Great videos as always! I love your stories.
Blending filament is very, very thin thread (the best way I can describe it at least) that you combine with a strand of DMC to give it a sparkly look. It is very fiddly to work with and I did not even get any to try as I never use it.
This video was very helpful. Thank you for making it! As you can see, I'm a little behind in watching your videos and I'm trying to get caught up, so I don't know if you have a video about blending filament, but if you don't, is that something you would consider? Thanks!!!
Great video! I do not have any experience with using metallic threads and will definitely refer back to this video as I begin to use them. The thread does look sparkly on camera but I was wondering if you can see it when the peice is hanging?
Thank you so much for this video it's very helpful. I'm about to start my first project with metallics. Just a question---should you do all your stitches that call for regular thread first and do the metallics after? Or can you just do the stitches with metallics at any time? Hope that makes sense!
Thank you for all the information. Can you store metallic threads on a floss bobbin like regular floss or should you just keep it in its original form? Thanks! Oops....looks like you already answered my question!!
I find with the treasure braid on 16 count it unravels the core threads show I don't like it. Some stitches are gold, yellow, and silvery. What am I doing wrong?
That Snow color is so pretty, looks more blue than white.
This was really helpful. Thank you. 💜
I watched your video with your little sister and the 99 questions. You said something about wanting to be a teacher. You so are!
This is going to help me out a bunch not to mention saving $. Keep these tutorials coming please. Your are so good at them, you are so straightforward on your comments and don't pull any punches. Thanks Love you!
Thanks for the tutorial on metallic threads. I had to idea how many was out their and such different in fiber and how they work. This will help for sure. You are a wonderful teacher and so helpful for all of us.
Another great informative video. As in your video on fabrics, the information is outstanding and very, very helpful.

Thanks Danielle for making all these great videos!! 😊 I really enjoy them and I'm learning so much! Have a wonderful day 😃
Thank you once again...these tutorials are sooooo helpful! (Love your ring!) ☺️
I am new to all of the new threads and fabric choices. Thank you so much for these videos. I have learned alot.
Thank you once again for a great video since I'm not a metallic user, but now I may give it a try.
Very informative video, thanks Danielle!
Loved this video!!! It was very informative. I am new to using metallics and your video has helped me understand them.
Thread swatches! Love it!

I am very glad with this video. I only have used DMC gold. But I love to see how you work with these treads.
This was very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for the video. The only metallic I have used is Krenik. I'm also doing a needlepoint Christmas stocking and will try Caron's Snow.
Very helpful! Thank you!

Love the review!

I just bought 11 kreinik and 1 treasure braid to try i should have converted my kreinik to treasure braid oh well thanks your videos are very helpful
Thanks for the info!!!
Thread Magic. Many like the container better. Biggest difference is the price. Thread Magic is the more expensive, or, at least it was the last time I could find both at JoAnns.
Thankyou for this video I will have to try petite treasure braid
Thank you so much for this! I haven't used metallic threads yet, and this was a great video to watch first 💗
Thank you Danielle, that helped me so much.
I am really loving these tutorials, please keep them coming.
Could you please do one on French knots?
Belinda Cantle I do not do French knots. Someone else asked me to do a tutorial and I was like nope. Haha. I ALWAYS substitute beads. For eyes I will use petite sized beads.
Yes Danielle I do the same. Thanks anyway :)

I don't quilt, so that is why I have never showed it in any of my videos.

My eyes like the 11ct. lol

I Heart Cross Stitch I have not done one about blending filament.
Great video! I do not have any experience with using metallic threads and will definitely refer back to this video as I begin to use them. The thread does look sparkly on camera but I was wondering if you can see it when the peice is hanging?
Bekah Bannister you can see the sparkle when it is hanging. I am looking at peony pixie now on my walls and I can see the sparkle in her wings.
What about washing and drying, if you use metallic thread to embroidery on a pillow case?
I don't know.
Thank you so much for this video it's very helpful. I'm about to start my first project with metallics. Just a question---should you do all your stitches that call for regular thread first and do the metallics after? Or can you just do the stitches with metallics at any time? Hope that makes sense!
You can do them at any time.
Thank you for all the information. Can you store metallic threads on a floss bobbin like regular floss or should you just keep it in its original form? Thanks! Oops....looks like you already answered my question!!
I would keep the metallic threads on whatever they come on.
I live in Alaska and do not have a store that carries nice cross-stitch fabric. Where do you get bigger pieces of cross-stitch fabric?
123 Stitch sells large pieces of fabric. There are many stores online.
Have you ever combined a metallic and a cloth thread to stitch together?
I have not.
I find with the treasure braid on 16 count it unravels the core threads show I don't like it. Some stitches are gold, yellow, and silvery. What am I doing wrong?
Maybe pull the thread through slower? I have always used the treasure braid on 14 count.
I embroider. Have you ever used metallic thread to do that? Any recommendations on brands, etc. thank you, from Dallas.
Do you embroider by machine or hand? I know sulky has some metallic threads for a machine I think.
How long do you think a cube of Thread Heaven would last if you used it all the time??
Carol Sferra a long long time.
Petite Treasure Braid Sparkle Ray...why not tent stitch on 14ct?
AliceInStitches yes you could do that!

So for krinikk number four is the thinnest right and then going up it gets thicker?
Cross Stitch Queen the blending filament is the thinnest but you should use that with a strand of floss b
