Most regular embroidery thread is 40wt. Most machines aren't picky about the brand, it's mostly personal choice. I use Madeira. For small and/or real dense designs I use thinner 60wt thread. Yes, you can use 60wt bobbin thread with no problems. My BFF has the 770 and used to buy the 90wt prewounds but I talked her into buying a cone of bobbin thread(60wt) and she's had zero issues with it.
Everyone has their favorite threads, stabilizers, etc. and their favorite place to get it. When I got my first machine I bought everything I needed right then and there from my dealer, but quickly found much cheaper places online to buy supplies. Now I buy all my supplies from Walmart.com or allstitch.net. Walmart.com has so much more than what the store carries. That's where I buy my Pellon stabilizers, by the bolt when possible. Allstitch for everything else.
