    It is very pretty, although just by looking at it you cant really see the metallics in there

Im going to stitch on lilac evenweave and I like working with metallics, so thats an added bonus

    Do you...I always get annoyed with them, I find when I use them they fray and unwravel and I end up wasting so much. They do look good though.

The secret is to use very short lengths, thread heaven or beeswax and a larger needle than you use for the silks, making the hole bigger with the needle helps to prevent the fraying. Someone said to press the end thats shortest into a glue stick, pull it off and let dry for a few mins, also helps prevent fraying, never tried that tho :)

    would be interesting to try, as Ive got a few patterns coming up that use them. Although I think Ill try the bigger needle first, since I know mine is small, I do like the small tapestry needles

I usually use a small one for most of my stitching, I had to go buy a bigger one to do metallics :D
