King Tut is a 40wt cotton thread. It is normally used for LA quilting. Is your Innovis a sewing machine or an embroidery machine? Embroidery machines use 40wt. I would think it would be a little heavy for piecing. Most piecing thread is 50wt or 60wt. You might want to put that machine on a "diet"! However, I use King Tut on my LA and found Sew Thankful to have a good price on it. It's 17 something. That's where I order. That's a large cone. Try Bottom Line in your bobbin. I use it on all my machines.
