Tips and tricks for embroidering with metallic threads
FS threads work smoothly on embroidery machines and offer an excellent shine. However, the metallic brilliance is given by their special structures and paying special attention to certain details allows you to get the best results every time. Discover how straightforward and uncomplicated is to embroider with these metallic top threads, together with your usual polyester, lint-free bobbin threads.
Premium materials guarantee quality results
The raw materials and their construction determine both the behaviour of the metallic threads during machine embroidery and the look of the final result and the resistance over time. FS metallic threads are of premium quality and will save you time and frustration, assuring high productivity and an appealing, long-lasting appearance.
Keep your embroidery machine fit
The metallic wraps that many speciality threads contain might give them a slightly rougher feel than regular ones. Keep your equipment in a good running condition, the bobbin case clean and avoid rough edges along the thread guides. If you work with spools, place them so that they run in a clockwise direction. To assure gentle unwinding, you could use a cone net or a spool top.
Design with care
When you digitise your design, consider the type and thickness of the threads that will be used for each element. To avoid a thick and heavy appearance, pay attention to the length of the stitches and the distance between them and avoid layering too many stitches over each other or having too many in one place.
Free choice of fabrics
Working on various materials is possible with the right choice of thread and a stabiliser that best suits the base’s thickness and structure. Therefore, the FS range offers many options to choose from, including hard-wearing metallic thread versions for embroidering or sewing onto more demanding materials such as denim or leather.
Pay attention to the needle
A new and undamaged needle helps reduce the risk of shredding. Look into the specifications for the thread and fabric before choosing a needle size, eye shape or type. An incorrect one might damage the thread, especially when embroidering at high speeds. When working on very fine fabrics with effect or thick metallic threads (e.g. FS 30), use a SAN®8 thin needle with an elongated eye.
Tension and speed
With MADEIRA FS metallic threads, the adjustments are minimal and you can embroider at high speeds. For example, FS 40 runs well with a speed of up to 900 stitches per minute. To reduce friction, a slightly lower top thread tension than for rayon or polyester threads might be sometimes required. However, too low a tension might cause the thread to loop, so run some tests first to find the right one for your project.
