We are all so different; I have great luck with this one. You'll find you'll use different ones for different projects. Rayon if for that shine, but sometimes you'll use cotton and for all these different threads you'll have to have different needles to play with because just because one needle says it plays well with one thread it will also depend on the stablizier you are using. Don't go big until you figure out what projects you'll do and what colors you may use more than others. I know that you want to just jump in there and get it all but I'd hold off. Even stabilizers are different from brands to brands. I've just recently found out about one for use on top of towels instead of water soluable called melt and something, can't remember. What makes it better for towels is that what is under the stitches stay and what's not stitched down melt away with a low iron. By it staying under the stitches your design stays better. I hope we all have helped with all of our opinions; which is what you asked for. HA HA
