Metallic thread favorites?

[samme]

What's your favorite metallic thread to use on lettering?

I really like Yenmet metallics, buy from sewforless.com.A\Also really like Superior Threads Metallics.
My XTS is fussy, and does really well with these two. The others I've tried were disaster, so I recommend these two as minimally problematic.

Superior threads are the heist quality you will find

We use almost exclusively metallic thread. I buy from Robison Anton and YLI because they sell the huge cones we need, but I have found that they are the same Japanese thread. Superior threads are also Japanese so I'm guessing they're all from the same manufacturer. I would recommend any of these suppliers. I have found that increasing my column feed by 10 points improves my finished product since this thread is heavier; also I would definitely do a practice run with less density (higher number) than you would usually use with your poly thread. I run this thread at 1000spm, but the key is that the digitizing must avoid repeated stitches in the same place, so if you've got very narrow and/or dense columns be prepared to babysit.

I've used madeira super twist a couple times and its a nightmare! I cringe when someone says they want metallic! But sometimes they just want what they want! Thank you so much for your help! I'm going to try these, all probably!

What settings do you use with it?

[danikasdad]

First off I am using a 11/75 needle sewing at a speed of 1000 spm and active feed is set to 6, I also changed the setting by color to trim metallic . I am sewing thin Lycra type (stretchy) Stormtech dance jacket. for backing I am using the new Gunold action back (this stuff is great) and 2.5 oz cut away backing
