Six tiny crosses that will go into Xmas cards--fsl with varigated metallic thread--except the one at the top is flipped. Question: when using metallicc for fsl, what is usually put on the bobbin for the back of the work? I used a varigated yellow rayon, it doesn't look too bad, but was wondering as I have many metallic colors. These crosses are a segment of the free rosary offered by skeldalehouse.com that someone mentioned here the other day.

When doing FSL, I use the same thread in the bobbin as is used for the top thread. Doesn't matter what type, be it rayon, polyester, or metallic - always use the same.
thank you--I have never put metalliic on bobbins, so I didn't know how it would stitch. Good to know before experimenting and perhaps damaging machine?!

Thx--I often use only parts of a design, but it is only for me so I hope designers don't mind.

I think it worked best for my Babylock. I tried the metallic in the bobbin yesterday p.m. and tangled, cut, removed the needle plate 4 times! Will just try to match this thread with the vari rayon from now on. Maybe give a go in my PE180..it will drive thru mud!

I think I will ''chop'' down to just the cross and do a few of those.

These are pretty, I made some verigated ones from yoriko's site but haven't tried metallic thread yet.
