I have an 830 and have used poly!! I have learned that you need to use a top-stitch needle for piecing and quilting to get specialty threads to work correctly and loosen the tension to 1 or under!! Also buy threads that when you hold up the ends it hangs in a U and do not twist or curl. I have been using alot of Superior threads!!!
