Oh, these are so luxurious looking. Well done on both you and Kim's part. Curious as to how you kept your threads from breaking again. I have changed needles to top-stitch for large eyes but some threads just seem to break easier than others. Great job to you both!

I decreased the Tension and turned the machine to as low/slow as it would go.Second one sewed almost perfect with no well almost no breaks lol

I usually remember to change tension and always embroider slow now. Got to try regular sewing on my Ellisimo since I had that mess with embroidery. Then try embroidery again. Mood has to be in that and the energy to sit and watch it!

Lovely stitching. A third idea to keep metallic thread from breaking is to put the thread on a thread stand or in a mug or jar away from the machine so the thread has time and space to stay cool as it winds it way to the machine. I've put the thread stand on the floor and it does work. I hope you stitch more items with no thread breakage.

Hi Carolyn, the result is great :-) With metallic yarn I embroider slower, and use different needles depending on the metallic yarn, Topstitch, Schmetz metallic or anti glue, all three work, hugs Maria

Great work as usual (the both of you). I use Kingstar metallic thread, seems the best for me and my machines. I've had numerous breaks with other brands. Love Chris
