Tips & Tricks for Using
Metallic Thread

Please note: this is what works for us .... every machine is different ... tweak as necessary

​

​

Instead of placing the thread on the machine spindle, place it horizontally in a small bowl and place the bowl behind the machine and thread the machine as normal

​

Make stitch length a little longer (you want to be able to see it)

​

Loosen the tension slightly (you don't want the thread to "sink" into the fabric)

​

Use your regular thread in the bobbin

​

Use your regular needle in the machine 

​

Additional instructions for Bernina users (this information was provided to me by people who use Bernina machines and is not official)

​​

Some models may issue an error because there is no spool on the spindle (just put any spool on there)

​

Use a Microtex needle.
