SULKY® ORIGINAL METALLIC
- Metallic thread can be difficult to process if your machine shows signs of wear. Therefore, the thread guide from the thread spool to the needle plate as well as the bobbin case and the hook should be 100% perfect. Polish all sharp edges or replace worn parts!
- We recommend a vertical thread spool holder.
- Use a lightweight thread in the bobbin, either a matching SULKY® BOBBIN, SULKY® POLY LITE 60 or SULKY® INVISIBLE
- Set top tension on a lower setting; use the thinnest possible bobbin thread; hoop fabric tautly; stabilize properly; avoid stiff, coarse stabilizers and short, tiny stitches.
- We recommend to reduce the sewing speed.
- Large scale designs enhance the sparkling effect
The needle makes the difference!
We recommend needle size NM 75-90 (Universal or Top Stitch).
