I use all brand of thread - I use alot of vintage coats and clark and other brands, but stay away from the "low cost" thread like walmart and kmart and others that I find. For the first time I have had a problem with some 10year+ black coats and clark on my Husky 875Q. When I looked closer at the thread even my 65 years old eyes saw that it was defective! I like using a finer thread in the bobbins as I can fit more yardage on the bobbin.

Most of my quilts will be used up and loved, not kept for heirloom quality so I'm not looking for 100 yr quality. I'm just having fun with fabric.
