Quilting4You Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi, I`m working on my own quilt which I mostly quiltet with Superior Threads Metallics. Is it possible to stitch over the metallic stitches with Razzle Dazzle or would the needle damage the metallic thread? I would like to use Razzle Dazzle cause it`s such an interesting thread and I`m sure it will have a great effect! By this way I would turn the quilt on the other side. Thanks for your help! Kind regards, Romy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilterscafe Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Hi Romy, I'm sure my reply won't provide much help to you because I don't have any experience doing what you are contemplating, but, whenever I ask myself, "will it work?" I am reminded of the one terrible experience I had taking the plunge with a new experiment on a quilt I worked long and hard on and then ruined because I didn't follow one simple rule of thumb - if in doubt, always test first! It was a painful lesson that I'll never forget but a bit of a blessing because I've learned how fun it is to experiment with new ideas in a risk free - throw all caution to the winds - have fun in the sandbox kind of way. I think you may be on to something fabulous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncutt Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 I believe Renae Haddadin did the same on one of her quilts. She didn't think the metallic showed enough so she used the Razzle Dazzle over it. I can't remember if she couched it or used it in the bobbin and sewed with the quilt front side down. I believe the later. I agree, test it first! Coming from an over anxious and always sorry person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrna Ficken Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Romy. You will be able to couch over the metallic thread with no problem. Of if you want you can turn your quilt upside down and use it in the bobbin. Myrna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grammie Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Like Myrna I would couch over with the Razzle Dazzle and it shouldn't be probelm or the bobbin techinique. No problem my friend. you can do it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renaequilts Posted July 21, 2007 Report Share Posted July 21, 2007 I did do it with the RD in the bobbin, but my original stitching wasn't a metallic. I used regular thread to stitch the line...then flipped it over and double stitched with the razzle dazzle in the bobbin. I loved the effect! I would test it over some metallic but I would be surprised if it didn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
