If the bright colored letters fly out of the box, what color to I put behind the box? The box is black and the main background color is a dark brown. The black box would get lost.
So what if I tried a neutral gray?
Bleh.
I don't "just push on" when I don't know what to do, I walk away and think. In this case, I got in the car and drove to work. I do some of my best thinking when I am driving, or rather, waiting at stop lights. What about gold? What if I surrounded the box with gold?
It's going to be interesting to see how this looks. However, I got a big lesson when I started work. When sewing this slippery metallic stuff, make 100% sure you are using a very sharp needle that hasn't hit any pins.
Ask me how I know this.

I always put some fusi-knit on the back of metallics when I work with them. It's a very lite-weight fusible interfacing and it definitely helps them behave.
I agree with LizA., very light fusibles really helps with that light weight metallic fabric and a sharp needle like you said. It also helps with the fray!!!(I've used a light weight one called shape flex before)
hmmm gold sounds interesting. never worked with that fabric though so no help here
I agree the dark is too dark . . . and I agree about the thoughts that appear when driving!!
Good luck with the gold . . .
