Wram tips for Better Working with Simthread Metallic Embroidery Thread
- Please use Metallic/Topstitch Needle with a large eye to prevent stripping, the suggested size is Topstitch 80/12 or 90/14 and Organ HAX1 SP 80/12 or 90/14.
- Drop the Tension of the machine all the way to 1.0 ~ -4 (Upon your machine model).
- Lower the Speed of the stitch per minuter ≤600 SPM.
- Using a thread stand is a great help, it allows proper thread delivery without extra tension added.

Quality product. No breakage like with most metallic threads. Nice sheen and luster. Definitely cost effective if you've never dabbled in metallic thread on your embroidery machine. Smooth and not as stretchy as other threads of this make up. You can never have enough metallic shades. Compliments my other metallic thread inventory. 100% Pickled Tink!!

Colors are gorgeous. Everything I thought a metallic thread should be. I can’t wait to try new designs on different colors of fabric. Glad I stuck with it and reached out for help.Continue reading for detailed account of learning curve and struggle. I wanted to add this part to my review as an encouragement to those who might be going through the same frustration I had starting out with metallic thread.As I started stitching out on my machine, the colors popped and were even more beautiful on fabric then they were fresh out of the box. Unfortunately, I was having breaking and shredding ever few stitches. I was using a thread stand set behind my machine. I changed designs, fabric, stabilizer, sewers aid on the thread to reduce friction. I even switched out needles in case I had a bad needle right out of the box.Nothing changed, I continued to get breaks and shredding. I moved my thread to the floor before using a box with a pencil shoved through it to allow the spool of thread to roll of instead of coiling off as it did on my thread stand (which helped just enough to keep me fighting this war of the learning curve using metallics).I even tore into my machine hunting for an illusive thread that might be causing the problem. Nothing! No change! Uhg. This thread was too beautiful to give up on. At the last thread of my sanity, I reached out to a group of embroiderers familiar with simthread metalics and received a lot of helpful feedback. Some suggested turning the speed down on my machine (I never used full speed on my machine, so that wasn’t the issue). It wasn’t until 0ne person suggested changing the tension on my Brother PE770 to -4. NEGATIVE 4!!! What! Are you crazy? I’ve always been told my other embroiders to NEVER, EVER CHANGE TENSION! But I researched tension on my machine. Geez, honestly, I didn’t even know my machine had a tension setting because you’re not supposed to change it anyway, right? Well, after debating weather or not this thread was worth it (and I thought it was) I went ahead and did THE UNTHINKABLE! And guess what… yup, you guessed it. SUCCESS!!!!  I still had a couple of breaks (especially with the color that I hadn’t used sewers aid on) but the few breaks I had were nothing, a drop during the storm, compared to what I had experienced for almost 7 hours prior.The design that was using was also pretty dense with wide satin stitches. Here is a picture of my successful test stitch that has made all my efforts and growth through this learning curve worth it. I followed up with a pair of FSL earrings. And celtic horse on an old shirt.

I love the colors, they are so vibrant and look much shinier in person than they do on my pictures. I sewed with my Brother PR650 six needle. I used a 90/14 Top Stitch needle, which has a longer eye and wider groove and sewed at 500 spm. I didn't change my tension or use the thread nets. I tried to use a thread net but it was too tight to let my thread come off the spool. (could be I didn't put it on right) When doing the first design of the shoe I used my regular embroidery needle and had a couple of breaks. After changing to the Top Stitch needle, as recommended, I only had one break. I couldn't wait to do some free standing lace earrings. They sewed out beautifully, I used earring patterns from Sonia Showalter Designs. They look so much better than the ones I have done with regular embroidery thread. I will be using Simthread's Metallic Thread from now on for my FSL earrings. It did not tangle, nest or shred which is a big plus. Looking forward to making cards with my metallic thread. I'm happy with my order and highly recommend Simthread Metallic Embroidery Thread.

If you need metallic thread for embroidery machines, this is about the best choice with the least difficulties.

This thread works beautifully if you follow the tips and instructions! I wound my bobbin on the slowest speed possible as I used this in my bobbin as well for a fsl ornament. I used my Janome mc550e, thread stand, a purple tip (90/14)Janome needle, set it on lowest speed, and lowered my tension to -5. I didn’t use any sewers aid. I only had one thread break after a jump-my machine cuts the longer jump stitches and may have cut it too short as it has done this before on regular thread also. This was my first time ever using any metallic thread and I was really worried, but had no issues. So glad I didn’t spend the extra money on the brand that most people recommend for metallic.

This thread is absolutely gorgeous. The colours are amazing, the shine is beautiful but it’s much thinner than I was expecting. Compared to my DMC, it’s one strand vs three. I still love it, but will likely double up my stitches to make it pop more.
