Thanks Terri I'm happy with it.
Tips I learned when using metallic thread
1) Use a needle for metallics it helps a ton.
2) This one you probably know use a regular cotton in the bobbin
3) Set your tension to 0 yes zero it works amazingly well if it's too loose try 1 but I always set mine to 0 and do not have a problem.
