The things I do when using metallics is to loosen my tension, use a larger needle & often per wind the thread onto a bobbin to use on top my fancy embroidery machine can be picky .and just cotton thread, matching color in my bobbin. That solved my breakage problem without buying anything else.
good luck & happy stitching.

Getting ready to take a class that involves metalic thread, so do not know if this will help. First lower your upper tension, use the proper needle for the thread, suggested a metafil 80/12 (seems you have that covered), slow your sewing speed down, way down. Your bedspread is breath taking and I love it!
