buslady glade you liked your DQ had fun trying new stiches on my SE with metallic thread. If you would like to try using metallic thread on your sewing machine lower your tension ( both top and bottom ) to 0. Then move them up one at a time till get the look you wont. Mine is 1.0 and 1.0. and use a top stich 80 needle. Thank you for the nice comments. I love doing these DQ. You do the same thing with monofilament thread but us a 70 or 80 sharp needle.
