Pretty much, thread is thread to me when I am sewing...the color is what matters most to me.
I use the machine embroidery thread for all my machine embroidery. It really doesn't matter what brand or what it's made of.
I do have some of the machine embroidery thread that I don't like! I got it in with a bunch I got off eBay, and it's hateful! It flies off the spool and gets messed up and causes all kinds of trouble. That same couple rolls that gets in trouble all the time also has a HUGE center hole and no way to make it smaller. My Dad is a cobbler (not a berry cobbler, either! LOL!), meaning he just cobbles stuff together a lot....so I can make it work. It takes two thread spool pins and something that looks like an onion sack, but it works...and some packaging tape.... LMAO! I hope I never end up with more of that stuff!
