yep, I was using it for embroidery as I am trying to relearn embroidery again. I did a lot of it in the early 2000's on my Viking D1. I got a Bernina 590 and am trying to relearn it so my stash of RA rayon threads is not new either. I am amazed by the amount of editing installed into the Bernina now and I suppose that is the same for all Brands now. The Black rayon basically shredded itself. I know speeds during embroidery are pretty fast and I have now slowed my machine down. The rayon thread has a beautifil sheen on embroidery. I was doing a Laurel Birch design of Mythical Horses.
