I have had a terrible time using Coat's and Clark's bobbin thread - I thought something was wrong with my machine - it kept tangling, and pulling top thread into bobbin, really messed up a T-shirt I was trying to embroidery.

I filled another bobbin with just plain old thread (not Coat's and Clark) and it was a breeze. I just don't know why Coat's would not work.

Coats and Clark thread is a low end thread. That's probably why. I won't use it.

I quit using c & C years ago because of problems. Now I only use thread from Superior thread. I know it could be a bit pricey but it is well worth it. Go to web site and buy the "try me" thread.

I never, ever use coats and clark. Period. I've always had problems with it because the quality is so touch and go that I just don't bother with it. I use Superior for quilting and Connecting Threads for Piecing. :)

I have had the same problems here, i refuse to even have it in the house now. Has caused me lots of problems.

I agree. I won't buy C & C now if it is made in Mexico. I bought some black and white spools one day since the price was right and I needed those particular colors. I never would have thought a particular thread would mess up my machine. But, it can and does. Changed brands, no problems with the same machine. Weird, if you ask me!
:-D

I don't use it either. Once I realized it was the thread causing all my issues, I gave away a huge bag of it to a friend that just sews when necessary. She was thrilled.

I have always used Coats and Clark and the only time I've ever had any problems was when I was still hand sewing the binding down. It would shred and generally make a mess. But it works great in my Brother and have discovered the machine sewing the bindings looks good too!

Same here and absolutely love the varigated Coats and Clark thread!

Probably still have some C & C thread around, but was given lots of spool ends of polyester thread from a sweat shop that closed. It was being thrown away. I was going to give it away, but never got around to it. It sat in a corner for yearsssss. One night I was going to hem the binding on a quilt and didn't feel like going out (gas $$!) and thought I'd look in the bag of polyester thread spools. Found one the perfect match for color. Fired up my needle and started hemming. WOW! Fantastic! Doesn't knot and I love it. Haven't tried it in the bobbin, but that is next.
Happy quilting.
