A very informative and easy to follow tutorial. Thank you for sharing. ❤

After this great video, I look forward to working with metallic thread. I have always been afraid of using this type of thread. Thank you for all the great information in this video.

I was thinking of using metallic thread for a fill stitch design. This is an absolutely awesome & informative video. Echidna Sewing is always the 1st video I would turn to for any issues, problems, questions I have. Gary, you are such a wealth of info!

I bought the Control a Twist thread stand a few years ago. It's fantastic. Always use it for metallic threads. Thanks for another great informative video.

Brilliant video thanks Gary

I followed your tips I changed my needle to a 75/11 grabbed a straw, lowered my tension and it worked. Thank you so much !

A great explanation on metallic threads and I have certainly learned from your informative video, so thank you very much!

Excellent amount of tips. Thank you for sharing them.

Einfach fantastisch erklärt! Wenn ich das mal vorher gewusst hätte, wäre mir viel Frust und Zeit erspart geblieben! Schade, dass sie so weit weg sind 🥲 vielen Dank für das Teilen Ihres Wissens.

Thank you very much about how to deliver the thread upright on the machine.

Very informative especially about standing threads upright. thank you Gary..

Not yet used metallic thread, great tips thank you 😁🇬🇧x

Very helpful video. Clear and concise. Could you give your input on using metallic thread to quilt a table runner. After watching this video, I think NO. It will have hot dishes, a sundry of plates, bowls et al set upon it, which means it will be washed more often. Also, quilting is intended to stabilize the quilt sandwich. Metallic thread does not seem functionally reliable for this job. Thoughts?

Very informative, thanks Gary :)

thanks very much very informative video. I even bought a stand from Martelli [USA] still had probs only Floriani upside down no probs an a small spool of Madeira & Mettler.thank you

Very informative Gary! I use a longer thread path and an Echidna 8 spool thread stand!!! The threads you cut off can be put between sheets of WSS and sewn over to make pretty fabric!!! Where can I find the thread spool adapter on the Echidna site???

Thanks for your reply i will try with a bigger needle

very indepth video, thank you Gary. What was the name of the 3 prong thread holder with the straw plz

Hi I was looking for the organ embroidery needles there are two types one that says for Embroidery shape point and Embroidery ball point which one are you using on this machine and which one is best for t-shirt and baby grows fabric thank you

Hi I have a slightly thick embroidery thread and I tryed to use it on my brother machine xj1 but kept on braking please can you tell me which machine needles to use thank you

Hello there. What settings would you recommend for a Luminaire for the top tension? Default is 00. Also, would you recommend a light spray of silicone spray on the metallic thread? It probably wouldn't penetrate the metal, but would it help it any? One more question (of course) - is the Hemingworth embroidery design that you stitched out available to consumers? I made a cover for my hemingworth cabinet to protect from sun/dust and it would be great to have that stitched on the cover. Thanks

Great tutorial, what tension would you recommend for Halo 100 please?

I love the quilt with birds on, can I ask where it’s from. X

Hi Gary, is your foot pressure at default settings for using this metallic thread or did you make any adjustments?

And can Embroidery needles be used for any fabric so I don’t have to keep changing it

Does this awesome info go with using a multi needle machine?

Do the multi-needle machines handle metallic threads well?

Hi Gary, What font are you using there please?
