Peckish, yes I've been meaning to try metallic with another color thread in the needle too. Since metallic is fragile as we all know I would probably only use it for wall hangings or something that won't be washed too often. I did use it a little on a baby's quilt though. Have no idea how its holding us as it went to a grandchild of my sister's down in TX.
FanaticFeline, I'm not going for "in your face" effect but just wanting to use it for the 2-color effect. Its for my dining chairs so lets face it, no one will see it most times as the chairs are pulled into the table and when they do pull the chair out, they'll be planting their tushes on it so again won't see it. Its basically for me to try this technique out mostly.
