In a previous post you said that you use regular crayons, is that what

And what did you put in the bobbin when you used the gold thread?

Thank you for sharing this with all of us.

Here are a couple more, You'll see the difference in colors... Also I just remembered the instructions say to use a close woven fabric for best results. I'm not sure if she suggested all batiks but I think so using a light color.

Also try loosening the tension a bit -- When I use metallic thread for embroidery, I have to loosen the tension AND slow the motor down. So no pedal to the metal either :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks sewjoyce will try that out.
