Hi!
Has anyone stitched using DMCs Light Effects threads? They are not for sale in my country (at least not anywhere near where I live), but Im considering purchasing some from abroad. But, I have no clue how these threads are. How is the texture of these threads? Do they require Thread Heaven? Do you have any tips for using them?
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
light effect are similiar to hand dyed, you must close each stitch immediatly to get a smooth effect, if not the color looks messy and you lose the shades
kreinik is similiar to metallic dmc, both can profit from using thread heaven but you must remeber to cut them shorter then normal mouline, is no longer the half a yard/45 cm
all of those are more expensive then plain full color so your work will be more expensive
Dear witch, you are mistaken.
This is light effect, similar to mettalics, very rigid floss, hard to work with. Nice and shiny, come in precious metal and gemstone shades.
This is variegrated floss,

Those threads are horrible. If you want a metallic take a look at Rainbow Gallerys "Petite Treasure Braid". SO easy to use. As a distant second my choice would be Kreinik metallics.

This is variegrated floss, THIS is similar to hand dyed. It is like normal floss, easy to stitch with.
As te color changes, you should complete each stitch separately before beginning the next one, in order the color changes show beautifully.
DMC Light Effects are horrible. No way are they worth the headache that is stitching with them (even if they are on sale). Krenik and Rainbow Gallery PTB are much better products.
