metallic threads

I came out of hiding. I want to decorate a quilted book with metalllic
thread surrounding the edges of the pages. The thread does not move. I
have tried all sorts of different feet and also have losered the feet.
I have a kenmore.
Help anyone?

Can you explain what you mean "the thread won't move". Are you trying to do
free motion, or regular thru the tension sewing? I use metalics all the
time on different machines with no problem. Email me privately and I'll try
to help.

What kind of needle are you using? Needles for metallic thread have a bigger
eye. Please don't loosen the feet. It is the tension that may need to be
loosened

Some specialty threads work better with spool in the
vertical position. Try that, along with a metallic
needle. Also try a top stitching needle. HTH. PAT
