ThreadNanny New Gold and Silver Metallic Machine Embroidery Threads - 10000 Yards

Nice pretty thread I love it for sewing my handkerchiefs

I had many spools of metallic threads, but no silver, and a fear based on metallic reputation for breakage. Have no fear, just follow recommendations. Slow your machine speed, reduce the tension and put the thread in a holder or cup a few feet away from your machine to allow the thread to untwist before it gets to your machine. Sew out was easy and looks great. These are really big spools, so great value too.

Thread is great! No problem with use. Running 1000+ spm. No breaks No tangles. Used big brands for years until now when needed for a last min project and ran out on a weekend. Ordered this up and will not go back.

This thread is much finer than I thought it would be but through learning how to work with it I have come to love it. It is not cottony or a soft thread. It feels a little like a very fine wire or filament. I think it might be comparable to a 50wt thread in thickness. This makes it a little stiff but still flexible as it is spun with nylon inside. I bought it for hand embroidery so I have no problems with breaking or fraying. There is alot on the cone so it will last me forever unless I do a very large dense couple of projects.I find it works really well when two or three lengths are cut to use as strands along with cotton or polyester thread as embroidery floss. It couples with any colour nicely to make any colour shine or gleam depending on how many threads are used. My only problem is that it can slip off the cone completely if you hold it upside down by accident. This is fixable by putting a rubber band at the top part of the cone to prevent it sliding off. Would buy it again if I ever ran out.

Looks exactly as shown lots of thread and has a nice shine.

The media could not be loaded. Bought this thread thinking it would be of good quality and when I received it I was a bit taken back from the cardboard spool it came on. Then after changing my needles and many times getting the right setting on my embroidery machine this happen. It started to come off the spool! It frays a lot but I have this weird but great method of getting great results. See video for my method. I use 90/14 needles and do some test piese to get the right tension and settings. If you want something better don't buy this tread. It's cheap but with the right methods you can get some great results.

These look a little expensive but the amount of thread included in there is astronomical (6 1/4 miles of each). The quality is superb and rendering is spectacular. I had no problems using these for logos on a SE400 with standard needle and bobbin thread.The spool is way too large for the machine, so it's a good opportunity to purchase a cone thread holder if you don't already have one.Fantastic value.[UPDATE]The silver thread has been finicky, at times causing me to break several needles on a single piece -- until I found out about Sewer's Aid. No more frustration and broken needles! The pieces I made with these metallic threads received lots of compliments. These spools would be at the top of my recommendations list for new embroiderers. Another recommendation I wish I had sooner: Metallic needles! Highly recommended. Make sure you buy them if you buy this great metallic thread!

I have not begun sewing with this thread yet but as I was removing it from the box the thread completely detached from one of the spools. I hope this will not create a problem when I go to use it.
