i actually prefer this to the metalic threads. I never have had a problem with and it sparkles so pretty. People always ask if i used glitter in my designs ;)just dont keep your tention too high and you will be fine.

There are a few tricks to using these threads, hope this helps but has worked perfectly for me in the past. First put your thread 'away' from your machine like on a seperate spool holder,next skip the first tension loop, then be sure you use a metallic needle, they have a larger eye so the thread won't kink, and last slow your machine speed way down. It will take longer to stitch but usually works perfectly. Have fun and post your outcomes........

I have a little spool of something similar by the looks. I have never used it becuase I thought it would be a problem. Hope someone knows.
