I bought a few of these from my LQS and was immediately disappointed when I started threading my machine for standard sewing.
Thanks jillaine-I have only found the ones for surgers also and always wondered what would happen if I used it for my quilting on the Bernina sewing machine? I bought one of the larger spools of thread (not the big cone) from Joanns but was hesitant to continue to use it. When I pulled the thread there was no resistence and it snapped easy. I don't want for it not hold up on the quilt after a few years or even a few washings!
