I (usually) have outstanding results with metallic thread by doing the
following (assuming the columns are wide enough)
1. 80/12 sharp needle (bigger might be better but this is the biggest I have)
2. Density 6 to 8
3. Primary underlay: Double zigzag 50%, density 24
4. Secondary underlay: Double zigzag 75%, density 12
5. No short stitches (<15 pts)
The two double zigzag underlays are staggered to keep the thread from going
through existing metallic thread and it raises the final layer giving extra
sparkle.
