I use metallics a lot. I have Floriani (expensive) & Threadart brands...the Threadart (shhh) is much better quality...the price is great also.
I use a TL18LS longarm & I also use on my Futura CE150 & Brother SE 270D embroidery/sewing machines.
You have to loosen the tension until you can pull on the thread coming out of the needle and it does not break. Adjust the bobbin tension to match if you get loopies on the underside.

Thanks in advance
