Good question...! I only have an inexpensive Brothers' emboidery machine - and since the manual said use only rayon, I waited for sales at Joanns to buy the thread. Sure does use up the thread, doesn't it?!?!
I use Sulky rayon and have never had thread breakage. Don't know what you use - but you might want to give Sulky a try - and Joanns has it on sale on a somewhat regular basis at 40% off....or use their monthly flyer 40% coupon. Hopefully you have a Joanns close by!
