Hi Melanie, Thanks for the information I didn't know that you used a different needle when using metallic thread. I've not used any have heard all kinds of story's about how hard metallic thread is to use. But after watching this I might just give it ago.
Thank you I have just jumped in to sew with metallic threads and they have split, broken and been a bit rubbish. I’m going to try again using your advice
You didn’t mention the bobbin thread. I’ve heard recommendations of not using the metallic in the bottom, but another type of thread to help with tension issues.
I would love to use metallic thread but after using an invisible thread I ruined my machine! It tangled inside my machine because it was so unruly. It would have cost me more to get my machine fixed than to get a new one. Now I am afraid to any kind of jazzy thread! I'm thinking about buying a used/cheap machine to experiment!
I made a couple of Frozen quilts for my girls and used silver metallic thread for the quilting - looks gorgeous!
Muchas gracias! Tu video respondio todas mis preguntas. Saludos desde Chile ❤. Hermoso trabajo 🌟

I like using the same in top and bottom, so I used the metallic in the bobbin as well.
Nice video but I wish you would have touched on what thread to use in the bobbin.
Melanie what are your thoughts on the cricut
How do you get the metallic thread on a metal bobbin? It just spins and spins.
Do you use a different thread in the bobbin?
Can you show us how you fixed the tension on this?
I just use a net over the spool and that takes care of the crazy unspooling!
a1angiem yes they have covers and such which would make it much more manageable:)
Hi Mel, what type of thread do you prefer in the bobbin while using metallics?
Kim Buddha I use the metallic thread in the bobbin as well :)
Planning to do gingerbread houses part of it with metallics. And to keep from thread from jumping off would thread nets help?
yes there are covers you can get to help with that
Where do you buy the needle?
Is it okay to sew metallic thread on neoprene fabric???
