I'm right there with you. I don't like it and neither does my machine. The other issue is how do you get rid of or secure the ends? In regular thread I knot and bury the ends in the sandwich. When I tried that with the mono I had a hard time getting the knot to stay tied and it didn't want to stay buried. The newer brands are supposed to be better but I'm not ready to fight with it again. There are too many wonderful threads out there without struggling with monofilament.
