Wow!!!! Got my Husquvarna Ruby. Its a great machine.

Ruby users can you tell me if I can embroidery with metallic tread. Any adjustments to be made? My tread keeps breaking.

Did you use a metalic needle? slow the speed on the machine.Have the thread on a spool holder away from the machine as this helps keep the thread from getting kinks in it.
I have a chop stick with a safety pin on the top taped to the inside of a cup. This helps me embroider with metalic threads. I have the Janome 300E.

Good advice from granniebear. You may need to place the spool hokder (use a coffee cup if you son;t have a spool holder)on the floor.

I take my thread up and over a cupboard door Knob so that it comes from high up and so doesnt come to fast or kink also put your net over the reel to slow it down

I have a husqvarna Ruby also, I have embroider metallic thread with a metallic needle without breakage. It is important that the spoon is away from the machine, mine is up, but I think that down is well also.
The brand is important, my machine like " metallic superior thread" and "Royal"

Try using a Metallic Needle size 80/12.
Slow machine speed down when embroidering with metallic thread.
Use a separate thread stand and place it a distance away from your machine so the metallic thread can unwind and relax before going into your machine
You could try lowering your top thread tension down just a bit and see if that helps with the thread breaks.
Are you using bobbin thread in the bobbin when you use the metallic thread as top thread?
