Christine,
Metallic thread is to be used more for embelishment than how you customarily
would use polyester thread. This means you should lighten up on the densities
and lengthen the stitch lengths in the digitizing.
Also slow the machine down and use a needle meant for metallic thread. This
would be a needle with a DBx7ST eye. It's longer and rectangular in shape as
opposed to the standard oval eye.
You may also want to try and use the standard mode of thread feed.
Hope this helps.
Ed
