I bought a Brother SE-400 last week, and ordered the polyester embroidery thread from Thread Art, and it works wonderful! No breakage.
And they have lots of pretty colors. And only $1.65 each, compared to $4.99 for the Isacord.:-D

I got most of my embroidery thread from e-bay. I key in - embroidery machine thread, with e-bay search. I began getting it at Jo-Anns, one spool at a time using my 50% off coupon, if nothing else was needed. Then ---I discovered e-bay.

My dealer explained the differences of the 2 machine embroidery threads. Use polyester threads for items that will be washed. This type of thread holds up better for quilts, baby items,etc. Rayon has a little shine to it. Use this type of thread for items that will NOT be washed. This type of thread will not hold up to washings.
