Tips for Embroidering with Glisten Metallic Thread
Make sure that the design youre going to use has been
punched with metallic thread. This will
likely reduce thread breaks.
Do not use Glisten for small lettering.
Reduce and keep tensions loose.
Use needles with a large eye in order for the thread to
pass through the needle eye easily.
Sizes such as 65/9, 70/10, and 75/11 are generally recommended.
Use new needles when possible.
Use soft and pliable backings. Metallic threads
typically have a difficult time getting through hard or stiff backings.
Burrs or rough spots on the needle will result in more
thread breaks.
Slow the machine speed down when embroidering with Glisten.
