It would be a real pain using it while trying to sew through multiple layers of denim. If there is a technique I'm not using with metallic thread let me know. 2) Peter, you don't understand the desire to wear black clothing, but what about the use of neoprene? Really?Do we really want clothing made from essentially stretchy foam, a hot, synthetic, thick and bulky fabric (?) that even scarecrow models look ridiculous wearing?

I think it looks perfectly fine with a regular thread, maybe just metallic thread for any crazy topstitching?Amanda L.
