That is all I ever used until just recently. But it is still what I use most. I have never had an problems of any kind. Personally, I find it hard to believe that a machine knows what thread is going through it, but that is just my opinion.
Trust me, the computerized, do everything but wash dishes, new machines know. And they tell you they don't like cheap thread.
