I have been using King Star metallic thread and hardly ever need to change my needle from what I regularly use on my embroidery machine.

I didn't know the metallic thread needed a special needle and have used my normal needles with good results on the thread I have.

I use Superior Titanium Topstitch 90/14 needles and drop my tension as low as it will go and now all metallic threads stitch out perfectly.
I highly recommend them.

Another trick for using metallic thread is to put it on a cone stand or container. Place the container on the floor and thread the machine as usual. The thread has time to cool off before going through the thread guides. This has worked for many of us.
