Hi Guys,
I have always used Maderia Threads, but I would really love to know what you all use and your opinions on different threads.

I'm using Brildor and I love it. Used Madeira too but it keeps breaking
A balanced quilter is one with a project on each finger
Eat, quilt, sleep, repeat
Nobody is completely useless, you can always serve as a bad example
I have used Maderia a lot and have never had a probem with it breaking. I have used it for several years and lots of embroidering on everything from demin to fine t-shirts, and never a problem. Sorry you are having a bad time. MaYbe it is dried out. Put it i nthe freezer for 2 hours to see it that helps.
I have just started using Floriani andI love it!
I use Isacord and have not had any problems.

I use Floriani, RA and Sulky and Prensia and Jenny Haskins; I don't have any problems with any of them. The RA is a great deal thru Sears website; it's only 3.95 spool, which is almost 1/2 price most LQS.

I use sulky, coats and Clark's.
"To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize". Yesterday it was called science fiction. Today it's called technology. But the Bible calls it prophecy. +
"Heaven and Earth are full of His Glory".
I use Metro thread. It is a lot cheaper than any of the brands mentioned and does a good job, looks nice.
I use poly. under 75 cents for a spool.

I use Madera or Sulky thread for embroidery. I avoid Coats and Clark. I don't like the lint that it makes or that it "strips" away from the core thread and has clumps of thread wrapped around the center thread.
I use Robison Anton, Sulky and Isacord of which I have the most spools. I have had great results with all brands of thread actually with both of my embroidery machines. I do know some machines can be 'picky' about certain brands or the way threads are wound, sometimes it just take a little testing and patience. My first Designer 1 didn't like any poly embroidery threads at all so I used only rayon. So don't be surprised if some threads don't perform perfectly. Some people buy just a few spools of new brands just in case their machine has a 'preference'. HTH
