Martha Ginn<\/a><\/span>\u00a0 commented on double needle gold quilting (previous post) and I sent her \u00a0an email about using a triple needle threaded with gold metallic, too. \u00a0Then thought I’d post this rather technical post as there could be others interesting in using multi-needles with metallics sometime. \u00a0In the Schmetz brand they’re called ‘Drilling’ for some reason, and they are expensive – expect to pay at least US$10 per unit !!! \u00a0so take care when working with them. \u00a0And as for threads, \u00a0I have no idea of the brand of large economical cones I found ages<\/em> ago in Australia, but Sulky and the YLI have worked well for me in the past.<\/p>\n
