Is there a really good reason why I should Not use this thread?
Hi,
I am getting ready to quilt a lap sized quilt for my sister. I have a sit down HQ 16. I just bought it used and have done one small quilt on it.
I would really like trying to quilt it with a metallic thread I purchased from art threads. It most likely is rayon.(not sure)
I have been using it as an accent on quilts on my regular machine. I think i have got the right tension set on my HQ16 and would like to use it top and bottom. (red and gold)
I love the special look of richness it gives.
The quilt I would like to quilt is a red flannel sheet on the back (washed several time and the top is all Kaffe Fassette. I have used a needle punched warm and natural batting.
I also have selected a easy flower like design and have the quilt marked and ready to quilt.
Now I am wondering, if for some reason or other, there might be a good reason not to use the metallic.
I am a relatively new quilter!
Thanks for any insight,
Linda
