Even the same "brand" of machine may like different kinds of thread. My Voyager is picky! It works best with King Tut on top and Bottom Line in the bobbin. I keep trying different cheaper threads, but so far haven't had much luck. Connecting threads was a hassle. Anything I buy that my LA doesn't like, one of my domestic machines will like. I might try the glide though. I have a Voyager.
