ever used pearl cotton in their embroidery machine to give more dimension to your work? I would like to use a heavier thread for machine embroidery but don't want to ruin my machine. Thanks.patti :?:

What about couching? I think that is what it is called. You put down a thicker/fancier "thread/cord" and then stitch over it (not through it)? I do this in hand embroidery and somewhere I've seen this done with a machine too.

perle cotton is ok to use for bobbin work- it's a bit too heavy to go through the tension disks-
for bobbin work you just stitch with your project upside down=
you can do a search for bobbin work- or decorative bobbin stitching-
Ricky Timms has a pretty good video on the technique- there are probably a few on utube too-
