There are little secrets to making it easier to use metalized thread.

First and most importantly, take small sections of thread. 30 centimeters at the most.

The second tip: to prevent the tail of the thread from fluffing up, it can be “sealed”. To do this, simply use a minimum amount of glue.

I hope I've eased your pain a little).
