There are no limitations or special techniques for stitching. Choose your needle according to your fabric and start stitching. You will enjoy stitching with Kingstar and the fabulous results on your project!
There are several stitch types in your embroidery designs that will reflect the shimmer and shine of the metallic threads the best. Satin stitches are one of the best since they are wider than just a run stitch. Also, look for movement or wider and narrow satins in your embroidery design. Chain stitches are another type of stitch where the metallic threads shimmer and shine.
Running stitches don’t really show off the metallic threads, unless they are quilting stitches on a darker fabric. Or multiple running stitches which create a thread build up where the dense area really showcases the metallic shimmer and shine. Especially those designs with shading areas using multiple running stitches.
If you are looking for impact with your stitches and metallic thread, then use skinny and wider satin stitches in your embroidery designs so the metallic shimmer and shines, reflecting off the curved edges.
