This is my first time using Metallic thread and I've got to tell you I was on the edge of my seat waiting for something to go wrong and suddenly the machine stopped and there it was, glowing radiance.
The design is from bejoscha.tavernmaker. The picture doesn't do it justice

I used schmetz Metallic needle 80/12 and I used a Thread stand. I've read that slowing down speed helps but I couldn't find how to do that on my machine so I used the default settings and it came out fine. Hope that helps.

Bejoschia's designs are quite well digitized, and turn out beautifully. I showed my Angels to a friend, and several of them seemed to mysteriousy disappear.

I agree that Bejoschia's designs are well digitised. I'm glad I started with their designs.

I encourage you to try! It has taken me years to try and I don't expect future metallic designs will work out as well as my first but now I'm not so intimated.
