Still with Anja Townrow I have done one of her bookcovers this week and I used loads of metallic threads and different stitches on my machine. So pleased because I had no problems with the metallic threads, hopefully I have cracked it now, Metallic needle in machine, loosen off top tension, use soft bobbin thread and put top thread in a cup behind machine instead of on spool, worked brilliantly for me. This week I am going to work on the cushion for H amtunes Autumn Fayre cushion raffle.
