My Bernina (1030) uses most threads with no trouble.
It will even take Bottom Line as the top thread and in the bobbin.
I mainly use Aurifil as my top thread on all my machines.
I often use a cone with the Bernina, but I keep it in a coffee can, have a safety pin taped to the back of the machine, through which I draw the thread.
I like Connecting Threads colours but it's way too linty to use on any machine.
