I've used my favourite Empress Mills Metallic Machine thread...
...but not the usual "Antique Gold"...
...but M9961 "Black Gold".
It works perfectly....and is a dream to work with...especially if you don't want stripey lines in your face!
This one is more subtle and suits my purpose exactly today.
Simply wiggly running stitch with the stitch length set to 1.5.
Metallic thread through the needle AND in the bobbin.
NOTE
Because this thread is super fine I find that I have to be very careful when winding my bobbin. It winds on so tight that I've had a few bobbins "burst" apart because they couldn't take the pressure. Not the fault of the thread....but some plastic bobbins can be a bit "temperamental" shall we say. Just saying.....
ps. I backed the silk paper with some Vilene Softline Superlight Iron-on to stabilise it before stitching.
It'll help later when I take a scissors to it as well!
After yards and yards and yards of stitching I've ended up with a beautiful surface to play with :-)
Now I'm off to the gloop jar again!
