looking for longarmer to use metallics
#1
I made three large Asian panel wall hangings/throws. I was wanting to have them custom quilted in metallic threads but can't find a long arm quilter who has any luck using metallic thread (it breaks too much). Should I consider not having them done in metallic or keep searching for someone who can quilt these for me?
Any suggestions on quilt designs?

There are many talented LA quilters here and I'm sure someone can help.
To get more attention you may want to change the title to something like LA quilting help needed or something like that.

Hi Anne Marie,
Why don't you consider using variegated thread?
Also you could see if they could use some of the threads other than cotton, such as poly and rayon. Some of these threads might be able to give you the look that you want without using metallic threads. Also if these quilts are going to be used then I wouldn't like the feel of the metallic threads.
