There is so much information about thread, that it drives me bonkers. My Janome 10000 will take thread, but now I match brands top and bottom. I do not use any "really cheap brands", but coats and clarks on up in price works well. I did order aurifil, and like it, but my past life as a "thread hoarder", has me using from the thread stash.

I have looked up info on this thread and looked at the LQS but none carry that particular brand. I suppose the question that I have, is this is embroidery thread for machines, right? I have a 12-13 year old Janome machine and wondered if this thread would work in this older machine? I am looking forward to reading your responses!
