I used to have quite a time finding threads that worked well with my Viking Designer One---it seems to be the (pickiest) machine i've ever used...since i found Connecting threads i've been so much happier- I buy almost all of my threads from them now and LOVE THEM! they carry good sized cones and spools- much less expensive than what you've been buying.
there are (traditionalists) who will tell you you should only use cotton thread for quilts...but if you look around you will find that many many many many quilters----never use cotton thread....and use many different threads in their projects with wonderful success. don't limit yourself- there is a huge selection out there.
a couple more good sources for thread...
