Sometimes I don't have the exact color I want in rayon or polyester, but I have it in the other type of thread. have you done this--and if so, how did it turn out?

Of course, caused no problems.

Yes I have used both polyester and rayon and sometimes even added metalic for effect. I prefer rayon for its shine. - Aileen

Great question! Now I know!!!! Thanks Cuties
Dawn

Yes many many times!!No problems!!!

I haven't but I don't see why you couldn't. By the other Cuties answers seems to work great.

Good question and interesting to see what the replies were.

Of course, with no problems

Yes looks great with right colors. DeVon

YES I even use cotton with both it just depends on how I want my picture to look and the color I have on hand !!

Yes, I had no problems.

Yes I did that, without problems

yes I did sometimes without any problems :)

yes, I have used rayon, polyester and even cotton thread in the same design. Oh yeah metallics espeically for Christmas designs.

I have because of colors.

Yes I have done so just because of the colour.
I do however prefer polyester,it will withstand washing beter and especially for table linen.But then it is always only thread for embroidery. Normal machine sewing thread might be too thick.Although I have seen serelon used for fsl,both in the needle and bobbin.

I have on purpose, just so that some details I want to stand out shine more with one thread, and others I want to be more background I use a more matte looking thread. They turned out great!

Yes and there have been no problems

I have, and they turned out great.
