The exact composition is not specified, but it features a metallic finish that creates a sparkling effect.
Yes, but consider the fabric's weight and the project's purpose. It's ideal for adding decorative touches to various fabrics.
Use a needle size appropriate for metallic threads, such as a size 80/12 or 90/14 embroidery needle.
Avoid excessive heat when ironing. If ironing is necessary, use a low setting and place a pressing cloth between the fabric and the iron.
While beautiful, the flat construction may require some tension adjustment. Beginners should start with a small test project.
Ornamental stitches, decorative seams, and embroidery motifs where a sparkling, metallic effect is desired.
Check the needle for burrs, re-thread the machine, and adjust the upper tension slightly looser. Slow down the machine speed.
Use a suitable metallic needle. Ensure the thread path is smooth and free from obstructions. Reduce machine speed.
Check the tension. Ensure the bobbin thread is compatible and correctly wound. Adjust stitch length.
