I found this to be onery to work with. My Schmetz metallic needles both the 80/12 and the 90/14 did not successfully sew this thread. I followed instructions and bougt some Topstitch 90/14. These do work somewhat better than the metallic, but still had lots of twisting, breakage and fraying. I have a separate stand to use and use lots of Sewer's Aid.

Je suis absolument ravie de ce kit de fils métalliques ! Les 10 couleurs incluses sont magnifiques, avec un éclat métallique parfait pour rehausser mes broderies. Que ce soit pour des projets festifs, des logos ou des détails luxueux, ces fils apportent une finition vraiment professionnelle.Les bobines de 500 m offrent une belle quantité pour travailler sur plusieurs projets. Les fils glissent facilement dans ma machine à broder (pas de casse ni d'enchevêtrement si la tension est bien réglée). Le résultat est net et précis, même sur des tissus complexes.Un excellent rapport qualité-prix pour des créations qui ne passent pas inaperçues. Si vous aimez personnaliser vos travaux avec une touche de brillance, ce kit est un must-have !

I purchased both sets of this metallic thread. The price is cheap compared to some other brands. But the thread doesn't feed through my embroidery machine (Husqvarna Viking Epic 2) as well as other, more expensive metallic thread. I used this thread on embroidery designs called Boho Quilt from the Anita Goodesign website.Most of the embroidery was done with three different brands of rayon and polyester embroidery thread. Because using metallic thread can be challenging, the metallic thread was used to "highlight" the other embroidery work. I have used a high end metallic thread (only shown on the butterfly antenna) that didn't require much adjustment on my part. This thread on the other hand, needed a bit more assistance getting it to feed properly and not break.What seemed to help:1. Follow the recommended instructions provided with the spools.2. Lower the thread tension to about 20 percent used for regular thread. I use 40 or 50 tension for regular embroidery thread, 10 for this thread seemed to work best on my machine.3. Use a larger top stitch or metallic needle!!!4. Netting seemed to increase the tension on the thread, it broke more often. However, without the netting, I had to hand feed the thread, straighten it as it twisted off of the spool. Be careful not to pull on the thread going into the machine.5. Sprayed the thread spool with dry silicone spray every 300 to 500 stitches. Do this outside, NOT next to your sewing machine.6. Keep the stitching length down to about 500 or less stitches.7. Turn your machine speed as slow as it will go, that aleviated some of the issues.The pictures show the thread spools next to where they were used. It is a little difficult to tell in the pictures but the metallic thread has more of a shine than the other threads (polyester and rayon).Here is where the thread was used:Next to the pink flower, the purple metallic thread was used on the small veins eminating from the center of the flower. Around the center, the orange metallic thread was also used.The peach and orange colored flower has the orange thread in the center only. Although there were thousands of stitches and multiple layers, feeding the thread, using a metallic needle, and running the machine slowly, the thread only broke once.On the red fabric, the light blue/teal was used along the edge of the purple stripe. The thread broke at least eight times (I lost count) regardless of what I did.The red and pink flowers were highlighted with the red metallic thread. The flowers were two colors BEFORE adding the metallic highlights, lighter and darker with yellow/orange centers.The darker blue in the butterfly wings is the blue metallic thread. The silver antenna were sewn with another brand of silver metallic thread.The yellow flowers have dark rose metallic thread used in the small veins eminating from the center of the flower. The center is regular thread.Hope this helps you make your decision on whether to buy or not.

If you are looking for AWESOME metallic threads look no further than Simthread Metallics these are the threads to buy. The colours are brilliant and the delivery is fast.I am extremely impressed with Simthread metallic thread. They embroidered out perfectly without breaking or shredding. My ‘Brother’ can be a little temperamental at times particularly when I want my embroidery to shine with metallic thread, but this thread stitched out perfectly and I would highly recommend it. Now I know how good Simthread Metallics are I will be buying the 32 colours, really can a girl ever have too much sparkle in her embroidery??

I've never used metallic machine embroidery thread before, so I was a excited, yet a bit nervous. I have a Janome 9900. I set speed to slowest setting and used the recommended needle. I did not have any breakage, easy to thread and my design turned out beautifully! I used Smithread S068 blue for background and lettering, and gold metallic for the Fleur De Lis. I am French, so I've wanted to make this for a long time. The metallic gold Smithread made it perfect! I couldn't be happier!

This is some really nice thread! The colors are vibrant, the metallic gives it nice little flashes of almost sparkle depending on how the light hits the thread as the eye of the object moves. I followed the included instructions to use a specialized metallic thread needle and slowed my machine to 500 spm. Simthread included 2 long spool socks and 2 bobbins. Always a nice touch to get extras. I would suggest that they include 5 of those socks to be cut in half as this thread, due to it's metallic nature, does unravel from the spool more readily than regular thread. All in all I am very pleased. The metallic accents are even visible in my tiny design that is all of 1.75"x3" in total but the elements are are all smaller than a dime! And I had no breakage.
