I use it with embroidery thread and sometimes on my Tin Lizzie. My Janome dealer suggested it and I trust him to give me good advice. It really makes a difference with metallic threads or any thread that will be used for a lot of stitches.

I have a computer machine and use it occasionally with metallic or other thread that does not want to feed well and keeps breaking or fraying. Again OCCASIONLLY.
WARNING! The bottle looks like a bottle of FRAY CHECK--DO NOT use one for the other! Ask me how I know?? LOL Sue

For metallic thread try either turning the spool upside down in a cup (from Floriani) or using the inspira needles. These needles are great; all of them have a flat area where the thread is going thru the needle instead of the traditional oval. The flat side helps the thread slide thru more easily. I've been told not to use the sewers aid on computerized machines. It makes since, since I don't even have to oil my machine.

Sewer's Aid is wonderful stuff! I use a wonderful tool to help get the silicone on the thread without having to reapply it continuously while I sew.
