Machine Embroidery thread
I know there are several people who have embroidery machines.
In the past I have TRIED to use metallic threads only to have way
to many problems with it an d gave up. Today however I bought some
of the Floriani Premium Metallic thread and WOW is it some AWESOME
stuff to work with. I am on my third bookmark and only had 1 thread
break.
Though the lack of thread breaks could be due to the fact that I
am switched to using a TOP STITCH 90/14 needle (as recommended by my dealer).
I intend to buy ALL the colors in metallic they offer.
Here is a design that is semi-finished (still on the machine in the hoop).

metallics that Floriani is the better deal.
The previous brand of metallics I used I spent more time threading the
machine and wasting the thread than I did in obtaining a completed design.
Of course I only bought 2 spools of the metallic today red and green. But
I think once a month I am going to squeeze out enough money to buy one
spool until I have all the metallic colors which is only 16. So I have 14 to
go.
With Christmas coming up maybe I can put that on my wish list that our
family does.

I went to the Houston Quilt show and got a new Martelli Kwik Spinner thread holder! Haven't got it on the machine (Bernina 830) but I sure hope this thing fixes a bunch of problems I have had with my thread! I will try it tomorrow and let you know!
