[quote=Lori S]I really like Superior Threads. Check out the web site they also have some great educational tutorials on the site. Very informative. I really like them because they have the recommended needle type and size on the spool. They are pricey but I can attest that the amount of lint coming off is SO MUCH LESS . I never realized how much lint actually comes from the thread.
Also when sewing with a poly or poly blend the static from their thread is much less in the bobbin. Static will cause irregular stitches.
Their metalic thread is truley the best I have ever used.

Ditto re Superior threads. Especially the varigated.
I was at an embroidery class where we used Brother machines. A Brother rep was there, and he made a point of visiting every table during the 2 days, so he could answer questions. He told us the embroidery teacher was using *** rayon embroidery thread, because that company GAVE them to the teacher; however, he (the Brother rep) told us that he prefers POLYESTER. We were shocked. He said it has a similar sheen to rayon, but it causes MUCH less trouble for the machines - virtually no lint; it comes in LOT of colors, AND IT'S MUCH CHEAPER!!!!!!!!
