I have a quilting project that I am contemplating using metallic thread to quilt with. I did some online research and wrote down a few tips. 1, use ultra fine thread in the bobbin such a Superior Bottom Line or bobbin thread sized between 100-70. 2, lower the upper tension. 3, Use a 90 metallic needle or a 90 top stitch needle. 4, Stitch slowly. 5. If possible use a thread stand. 6, practice, practice, practice on a test sandwich. Now off to begin my metallic thread adventure, LOL
