The best was the smoother ones-MelcoMart sells one brand and the other was Robinson Anton. I used auto material thickness, two layers of tear-away and underlay of edgewalk and zigzag. I used as little density on top as possible to try to prevent puckering. The metalic threads that have more of a fleck shread more often although some came out nice. I had many more thread breaks with the rougher edged ones from Maderia. I set the Amaya to metalic in the color sequence part of the software. White and black backgrounds come out much better than the purple and gold backgrounds in case you have a choice.
