I recommend two products to help with metallics. The first is Thread
Heaven. Put one end of your thread on the product, hold down with a
finger, and pull the entire length across the product to give is a light
coating. This will help keep the thread from tangling up while you
work. Secondly, thread your needle as usual and then apply a dot of
Fray Check to the end of the metallic strand. Let it dry before working
with it. That little bit of thread will be cut off when you finish off
the strand anyway, so you might as well do what you can to make it hold
out until the end!

Ah, those sound like very good things. I'll have to start looking
for them. Thanks!
