Default Metallic Thread Shredding Problems

I am having problems with metallic thread shredding. I am doing Cathedral Window and wanted to stitch down the curved bias edges with silver metallic.

I have used about a quarter of the thread on this particular spool without any problems on other projects but suddenly it is starting to shred. Needle has been changed to thread manufacturers recommendation (14/90), I swapped out the bobbin, cleaned the machine etc. Stitching starts out just fine, then after about 10 stitches, the thread begins to shred and/or break.

Any idea of what could be going wrong? I have tried changing stitch length and tension but without much success.

Many thanks
