Interesting. Yes, it is made by Coats and Clark and I absolutely love it. So do my machines.
Goes to show, there is no one-size-fits-all in quilting. Phew, that's good too or this board might get boring. lol
Hope you find one that works - have you tried Connecting Thread spools?
Concur 100%, isn't it interesting?
I sew on a Bernina 1031 (1990s era) and an original 830 (1970s era as opposed to the $7000+ reincarnated/new 830!), and have no problems with thread or piecing. I always use a Schmetz Universal 80/12 or 75/11 needle for piecing, and store all my thread out of the sunlight and dust in a thread cabinet.
