Metallic Thread Quilting

K8Orlando
12 years ago

I could use some technical advice on machine quilting with metallic thread. I've used metallics for hand quilting but am having trouble making it work on the machine.

What size needle should I use? Can I use plain thread in the bobbin and metallic thread on top? Any recommendations for brand of metallic? How about setting the tension: do I back it off a little?

Thanks!

Kate
