As Halloween approaches, I really want to find a glow-in-the-dark thread
BUTTTTTDoes anyone have a glow-in-the-dark thread that they use or recommend or have used that is good quality and that does not mess up your machine??
I have only used C&C glow-in-the-dark thread---but it shreds and causes issues and problems with the machine. I REALLY would like to find a much-higher quality glow-in-the-dark thread that someone has actually used and could recommend for Halloween designs and others also. Thank you for all of your referrals and ideas and God bless you.

Treat this thread as you would a metallic thread. I use a thread stand, the spool is standing on end rather than horizontal and I have it several inches away from the machine. I thread the machine just as I would with any thread. Some folks might want to use a net over the spool. I have not had any trouble with metallic thread doing it this way. I have helped someone who did not have a thread stand. We used a large coffee cup and set it on the floor of all places. She then had no trouble. So experiment to see what works for you. I agree with you, you need to use a good brand of thread. But try the C&C brand now and see if it works. And let us know if you found a way to use the thread and what worked for you.
169064Robison-Anton makes glow in the dark "Moonglow". I have had good success with the rayon, polyester, and metallic threads from them, but I have not yet tried the Moonglow.

4698I'm also interested in a solution for breakage. Nothing I did--needle, machine speed, spool position--worked to solve it.

It will NOT work on my 5x7---but it did sort of ok on my little cheapie workhorse 4x4. I only have one speed on the cheapie---but it does a great job!! Thank you and God bless you..
5660I have used this glow in the dark thread & I used Gamut & it was not a good experience for me. It was not fun at all & kept breaking finally I was able to slow my machine down & use a thread spool cover from my Hemingway spools & then i did ok. I hope you get better responses from other cuties. ~hugs~

Do you have a brand you can recommend??? I have only used C&C and I will not buy it again. Does Hemingway make a glow-in-the-dark thread that you know of? Thanks and God bless you.
