From what you describing it sounds like it is metallic thread.
What always works the best for me is to use a large eye SHARP
needle, and slow the embroidery speed down to the slowest setting
possible (on my Brother machines that is 350 spm).
Others might find other things that work best for them, but so far I have not
had many issues (a few here and there) with what I listed above.
Good luck hope all turns out well for you.

I have the tension turned down to pretty slow and I have double checked to see if bobbin is in correctly . Any other suggestions for using this? I also have some other colors and want to use it in my Christmas gifts so need advice please? Also hubby made me a thread spool stand so I can put it on there with a thread net and it is astanding one instead of it laying horizontal.
Thanks in advance!
