I have the PE700II which is basically the same machine. Yours just has the USB option. I use 60 weight thread in mine. Was told by my service tech that it was better and less breakage. Use any "embroidery" thread. It will be labeled as such and is usually 40 wt. I use Mettler and Metro thread. I catch the Mettler on sale at Hancocks. MetroEM is the site to order the Metro thread. My machine LOVES it. It doesn't like the rayon much which is the Sulky brand. I use a "large eye" needles which cuts down on breakage. There are a little hard to find but they are out there. I had my dealer start carrying them!! I told him he was losing business not to do so! LOL
Hope this helps you a little. Post again if you have questions.
