Hi everyone I was watching a sewing channel this morning and something was advised to get if your sewing with metallic thread you may need a special sewing machine needle, my Questions are 1) what is a metallic thread needle 2) what size are metallic needles 3) what is the difference between that and a normal needle thank you Helene
Debbie replied: 28 Sep 21 at 13:00
Metallic needles usually have a coating on the inside of the eye to help prevent friction which can create heat and weaken the thread. Technical stuff!

I am trying to sew using a twin needle on my janome machine but the 2 threads are getting tangled together so one of them keeps breaking. Any suggestions how to overcome this would be great as I am finding it very frustrating.
Debbie replied: 28 Sep 21 at 13:01
Where are they tangling? Could you separate the threads at the spools, maybe put one in a cup at the side of your machine...
