OK... I looked closer and my Brother manuel does say the needle threader might not work with metalic thread and it also says that you should use a net sleeve on it to keep it from coming off the spool too fast. That's it... nothing else.

I don't use metalic that much and when I do it is a very small area for accent.... but most times I just don't use it at all....

The silicone Sewer's Aid does help-- but be sure not to use much...Just a very thin line down the thread from one end of the spool to the other....Then let it sit a second or two before using.

I don't use the 'threader' to thread my machine...I do it manually even the metallic thread with no problem. I keep the spool on a stand away from the machine and that works great too.

The only thing in my Brother SE-350 manual that mentions metallic thread is that the threader won't work with it. I'm not planning on using metallic thread but you never know.

I just looked through my manuel for my Brother and it says NOTHING about metalic thread.

Anyone else see something about it in thier manuel?

I don't have a Brother but I'm curious as to the suggestions they give. Are they just what we noramlly hear about metallic threads? Hope it works out for you. Thanks
