I said I would NEVER sew with metallic thread again, but I decided to try one more time after watching your video, I just bought and sewed with the king star metallic thread, it sews great, no thread breaks with my regular needle just as you said and looks beautiful, thank you and you were right ! 😊

Gorgeous Angel 😇!

Isn’t it great to have your spouse support your hobby?! We are former military as well. My husband understands getting fabric from quilt shops for the higher thread count. Watching you two work together is fun. Don’t they have a motto, “get her done”? You will be quilting on your long arm in no time! Thanks for the tip on the metallic thread.

Your angels are so pretty they would look awesome on my tree lol. Fabulous that your long arm will finally be up and running, hope Keith’s recovery goes well Love and quilty hugs xx

Pretty angel, thank you.

Angels absolutely gorgeous

Beautiful angels! Now, I got to have that thread. Dime and Kimberbell should send you gratuities for the great job you do with selling their products. I'm glad your husband is doing so well after his back surgery.

Cool Beans! You are so special...always pointing us to the best products and equipment. I am so happy that I found you on KZfaq! Keep the info coming!

This would look awesome on a Christmas table runner.

That stuff is fantastic!!! How many times have I given up on using metallic thread of any kind!! The angels are gorgeous. A whole tree of them would be stunning!!! You must show us a lit more!!!!!

I just ordered the thread. I love your videos.

I always use sewers aid or mineral oil on metallic thread. Best thing ever for my machine tension disks.

I absolutely love your enthusiasm!

Beautiful! I like shinny glittery things!

I have used metallic thread and some are more fussy than others. Good to know that this one is hassle free. I will have to give it a try. Thanks so much for sharing. Iris

Cool demonstration. Embroidery Designs is having a 90% off birthday sale on about 2900 pages of all sorts of designs: Christmas, Halloween, gnomes etc. WOW! Some designs are 20 cents & they’re cute designs too, it ends 10/30. Thanks for putting me on to them, never heard of them.

Thank you so much for the demo and recommendation!

I have quite a collection of various metallic threads. But after using Kingstar Metallics over 2years ago, that is the ONLY metallic thread I will use.

Thanks for the heads up...just ordered the set from DIME after babysitting a gold metallic on a hem stitched towel. Took HOURS!!

I saw that FB live! I was wondering about the King Star metallic thread! You have given me the courage to try metallic thread!! Thank-you!😎

That is beautiful. I do not like to use metallic thread in my sewing machine. You have changed my mind.

I used a metallic once & it clogged my machine! I've shied away from specialty threads since then because I could buy a better/new machine than to have it fixed! You have now inspired me to experiment again! Thanks!

I found some “metallic” thread made by brother that is 100 % polyester and it is beautiful and NO special slowdown or tension change needed! It is fabulous!!

WELL YOU SENT MY MIND RUNNING RIOT, MAKE THEM INTO CHRISTMAS CARDS, TAGS, ON CLOTHES, ETC ETC FANTASTIC, I MUST ADMIT I HAVE BEEN A BIT SHY OF METALLIC S TOO. I WON SOME SO THINK I SHALL DIG THEM OUT AND HAVE A PLAY. HOPE THEY ARE AS GOOD AS YOUR THREADS, THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION.

Thank you for your video, l had given up on metallic threads but after watching your video I decided to try kingstar and purchased some, arrived today and with a little hesitation started using it on a Christmas Angel PERFECT am so impressed with this thread have ordered more colours.

The angels are gorgeous. I want a machine that does embroidery. Amazing! Your husband is doing good for having back surgery last week. Don't work him too hard!

And Eileen said its a great thread for longarmers. QOV, or Christmas panel quilts too!!

Great Video. I ordered the metallic pack. Can't wait to give it a try

OMG that is so pretty

it was good to be able to watch the thread coming off the spool. That is the part I was most interested in. I have used metallic thread and it would come off the spool like fine wire and I saw that thread came off just like normal thread. It was very exciting to be able to watch the spool. I will certainly purchase some. You always provide great info. Speaking of which, we were in your area and stopped in Fredricksberg and went to the quilt store WOW!

OMG, that is amazing. I started a project that requires a lot of metallic thread and using the thread doctor and metallic needle, I still get a lot of breakage. I will definitely have to get some of this thread. Glad hubby is doing well.

Thanks for the info. I have just ordered some silver. The FSL angel looked perfect.

Thanks Becky Ive always avoided Metallic Thread for the same reason. Im going to order some and try it

WOW👍👍😍😍

Just Beautiful!!!! Thank you for showing how to use it!!

I just got my KingStar Metallic Thread in yesterday. I had to sew the Beautiful Angel out!!! I did the Pink, it is so so Beautiful. At The Embroidery Store (online site), they have the large Spools on sale now!! You have me hooked!!!!!! Thank you!!!

You are sooo right, I love this thread too. Your angels are so lovely.

Beautiful angel! 🧵❤️

Your experience confirms the adage that you get what you pay for. If you buy quality thread etc. you are going to get quality results. I had problems with metallic using cheap thread - not worth it. I threw out the spool and went with a better quality metallic. No problem since.

Looks wonderful. I have used metallic thread in twin needles before to enhance bags with the 2" diagonal each way to make diamond shapes on the back of bags worked good for me. Thank you for the wonderful amazing lessons you share with the videos and the time you invest in. Thank you for sharing.

Great to meet you at Creative Sewing Center. My human says she is going to get some of this thread to try!

I've been intimidated about metalic thread forever. I have several spooks of Hemingworth metallics but have never even opened them. Thank you for your video. Are long arms really that complicated to put together? Wow!

I purchased this thread and it does the same thing that my other metallics do, it shreds. I've tried everything I could think of and it STILL gives me grief just lie the others I've tried.

You always have the best recommendations, but, Lady, you're costing me money. Now I need metallic thread. I had shied away for the same reasons. I'm not a quilter but you're convincing me to dip my toe in. I ordered a small wall hanging kit which has appliqué so I HAD to order Simply Appliqué - it arrived today. Thank goodness I already had a Scan n Cut - whew! Now to rewatch your videos about the software. Looking forward to your next visit (video).

Wish I had seen this video earlier could have free shipping but oh well shipping wasn't that bad can't wait to receive my order

After watching this video I decided to try KingStar Metallic thread. But sad to say it does not work for me. I have a Bernina 880+ and tried EXACTLY as you show. I even purchased the same angel design as you have in the video. I put KingStar gold in the bobbin and on top. I used a Schmetz 75/11 titanium Gold Embroidery needle. Upper thread kept getting shredded. I tried over and over. Same result. So I adjusted the top tension. Still KingStar Metallic shredded. I tried a larger needle. Same problem. I changed the bobbin to Isacord thread and it stitched out a little bit longer duration but again, the thread shredded at the needle. I slowed the machine down, but still the thread shredded. So I changed the needle to Schmetz 90/14 titanium Gold Embroidery and the design stitched somewhat longer before the KingStar thread shredded and broke. Very sad because I was hoping KingStar was the answer to my metallic embroidering problems. I purchased five cones of KingStar online and hope I can still use them on small accent areas in my embroidering designs and also for regular sewing to add highlights and perhaps some special effects with fancy stitches. I have also tried Madeira metallics, Sulky and Yenmet. I am giving up trying to embroider ANY design using 100% metallic thread. I would like to add that the embroidery designs I have been trying to stitch using metallic thread do stitch out okay using Isacord polyester embroidery thread. Thank you for your time.

You make me so spend so much money. LOL But so far great things that you bring to the table!!

It’s awesome. I’m getting that thread. And thanks for your opinion about the scan n cut and Alanda’s Craft.com tutorials are awesome

Becky, You did too good a job ar selling these threads.THE COMPANY IS SOLD OUT!!!!!!!! I had it in my basket and lagged. Now I don't have it. Oh well, I've contacted ALLBRANDS and they graciously said they'd let me know if they get it in, after they recover from Houston. Well, if anyone has any to sell let me know. Thanks for your real self!

You are amazing, loved this video. New subscriber :)

Becky this is so cool! I love those angels ! Now, would you give that man some break :)) Fresh out of surgery and he is doing all that work?? Wow! I liked the end part! It got me a bit dizzy, but I enjoyed it a lot! Thanks! ~ Catalina PS: Now I am up to buying that thread and try making a thing with it although I only have a regular machine but I like how it looks on fabric: Gorgeous!!

Hi Becky I finally got my metallic thread. Didn't take long at all to get it. What size needle do you use. Thank you for the great video from Festival. I went back and watched, and heard your needle size. Thank you

Loved your video - so excited about finally finding a metallic Thread that is easy to stitch with. ordered and started today and had 2 breaks ona FSA design with about 25000 stitches - any suggestions /help would be appreciated

What speed on your machine do you use for your embroidery? I've avoided using metallic threads as well. I was intimidated too. I'll certainly consider buying their metallic thread as well. I hope you get your quilt assembly all done so you can have some fun! Thanks for the embroidery tip.

Do you need to push the petal to make it go

It did not work on my stellaire. It came off the spool too fast and was making loops pulling into machine. Then it broke a needle in 2 pieces. Scared to use now.

I need that thread, I have used metalic thread in the past and decided it wasn't worth the head ache.

That looks like a very nice thread stand you are using. I like that you are able to put multiple spools on there. What brand is the thread stand and where did you find that? Do you think using a thread stand instead of using your machine thread holder made a difference in how the metallic stitched out?

What type of surgry did your hubby have? He seems to br doing very well, I'm so glad! I had an L- 4, L-5, S-1 lift, the surgeon inserted 2 cadaver bones between the spaces where the disks were missing. and fused it all. I have rods and 6 screws. It will be a while yet until I get to the point where your hubby is. I love that new metallic thread! I haven't bought an embroidery machine yet, I want one that gas a lot of my favorite features, but it doen't seem to exist yet, lol! Love watching your sewing!

Hi there. Can I use a lace embroidery design as regular embroidery or does it have to be for lace only?

Can you show us how to use the scan n cut to make a t shirt with an iron on?

Hey Becky, can we buy it in Europe to ? Because we have to pay us blue and green on taxes if we buy something out of Europe.

I'm still so disappointed in this thread. I started a new design on some Christmas stockings and all I've had is thread break after thread break. I've done 3, 222 stitches and have had at least 15 thread breaks. Have slowed my machine down to as low as it will go, rewound my thread, after I had so much trouble before starting this project, using a Schmetz metallic 80/12 needle. What else can I possibly try. I even made me a cup to hold my thread as recommended by John Deer. Help please.

Hi Becky I ordered some of the metallic thread you suggested. I haven't gotten mine yet but I noticed that you have the thread standing up coming off the spool, Do you know if it matters if its coming off standing or on its side

What machine are you using

What pattern is the Angel by I would like to purchase the pattern

I ordered the Dime metallic thread and couldn't wait to use it and to my dismay, it kept breaking after I stitched out 2 very small designs. I was using Aqua-melt stabilizer. What kind of stabilizer do you use, needle, bobbin?

Becky Becky Becky....so excited to see this tutorial. Honestly I’m in the process of making red velvet Xmas stockings that I embroider the child’s name on them with gold Metallic thread ( won’t mention the brand as it may upset someone 🙄) but I don’t dare take my eyes off it because it will take advantage to break or snag ..and I’ve got to hold my mouth just right too😂. Every Xmas I say I’m not making anymore but then some family member or friend or a friend of a friend will have a baby and ask if I will make them one.Wells it’s a bit like having a baby really because I forget the pain and frustration and do it again😂. It’s going to cost me a arm and a leg to get some shipped to N.Z but I’m getting it . Thanks a million Becky and your angel looked gorgeous. 😘💐⚪️

Hey Becky, Where are you, Miss you. Hope everything is okay.

DOES DIME HAVE A REGULAR PHONE NUMBER THAT YOU CAN CALL TO ACTUALLY TALK TO SOMEBODY? MY PHONE WON'T LET ME ACCESS DIME BY OPENING AN EMAIL THAT THEY SENT TO MY PHONE. I DON'T KNOW WHY.

I know you say sometimes on your video but what is that software you embroidery with?

Out of stock on kingstar metallic

where did you get the Angel design?

The real shimmering Angel is your husband

Buy "Superiors Threads" Metalic thread from America and you will never use anything else.

Man you guys move...
