I use Madeira 14/12 R-SES for all my metallic. The R is for Standard Ball
Point and the SES stands for Light Ball Point so I am not real sure. I do
know I have been using them for years on metallic whether its on Canvas
Jackets, knit shirts, or backpacks. Sometimes if I am only doing a few
items I will use the standard 75/11 ball point but if I am doing many
stitches in metallic I switch. Just started a job today of 1000 backpacks
with a all metallic logo, loads of fun :)
