Machine Embroidery Thread Types - Polyester vs Rayon vs Metallic

You may have heard of polyester, rayon, and metallic thread for machine embroidery, but what's really the difference? I tested each thread type on the same design to get a visual idea of how these threads look and feel.

Wow, I used only Rayon on my first little 4” x 4” machine but switched to PolyNeon when I got the 10 needle. Now with this comparison I think the Rayon is richer and for metallic colors, the metallic is much nicer. Thank you for doing this comparison!
