Try several. Your machine might do better with one than the other. I have a Brother that only likes Sulky. My Janome is far less picky.

We just bought a Singer XL 5000 from a Sew n Vac in Robinson, Illinois and that's what they said to use and we bought 6 of their spools but they are 5 a spool.

I'm new to this machine and learning the ins and outs of it.
any suggestions.

I have never had any problems except Robison Anton. I had a Janome 10001 and now have a Babylock Ellisimo.

I just purchased a Brother 4000D. I've been looking at different thread sets and came across this one.

http://metroemb.com/

I'm going to order this next weekend. My dealer cautioned me to use 40wt thread on top and only use Brother Bobbin Thread on the bottom.

Just a thought.

I have purchased off brands on ebay, and I have been very happy with them all :D:D:D
I have picked up sets of the mini king cones for $1-$2 each and 5000m cones for $3-$4 each :D:D:D
