Has anyone used Metro thread for your embroidery machine?

I just noticed they came out with 1000 yd mini cones. They are $0.69 per cone! They look pretty, but I just wondered if anyone had used it and if there was any problem with it. They also have varigated for $0.65 per cone. I bought a large cone for $2.99 thinking it was a smaller cone at a great price. It's 5000 yds! My son is making me a cone holder, so I've been holding off using it until he brings it to me.

I don't know anything about Metro thread. I do have some cone thread and but I don't have a thread holder. I just put the cone in a coffee cup behind my machine and thread it just like the thread was coming off the spindle. I've never had any problems doing it this way. The cup keeps the cone from jumping all over the place and allows the thread to unwind without problems.

I bought big spools to try on my longarm machine and my longarm doesn't like it, so I figured I could use it satin stitching on my viking, it works but sometimes I have problems of it slipping out of the tension guides. I am not sure how the small cones work.

What brand of longarm do you have? I bought some, too, to use on my long arm and it broke constantly. That was when I had a Tin Lizzie. I now have a APQS but have not been brave enough to try it yet on my APQS.

I have used it on my embroidery machine, I have no problems with it, I have a brothe PE 770.

I have received orders quickly and would order again.

I've used it on my longarm and have been really happy with it.

I've used it, and been very happy with it, on both my Baby Lock Sophia and my Janome MC11000SE. I have had a few problems with the thread shredding in the needle, but I really think that is because I'm not using the optimum needle size and not an issue with the thread. My Baby Lock is pretty particular about thread, and does like it fine. I whole heartedly recommend it. And, their service was great!!

I use in my embroidery machine and also my longarm. Both machines it works great.
