Which specialty threads do you have problems with? I use it with bottom line, rayon threads, water soluble threads, just about everything I sew with. I think I did have trouble with a really stiff nylon monofilament (I don't use that anymore) but mine worked with a better quality rayon monofilament. Mine is a Bernina 440QE.
Maybe it was the heavier/coarser threads? ..... the hook may be a little small for grabbing a "fat" thread? Or perhaps it wasn't the thread, but the other issues mentioned above?
