Have you ever had a spool of thread break completely in half??

I set my machine up for free motion quilting and practiced for a few minutes to make sure my stitching was ok. Then I started filling bobbins so I could start quilting my Garden Tiles quilt. I no sooner got the second bobbin filled and the entire spool broke completely in half! I've never seen anything like it.

The thread is Madiera Aerofil. It's a brand new spool! Well, so much for getting this thing quilted this weekend.

The only other thread I have that comes close to the color I need for the backing of this quilt is Isacord embroidery thread. I wonder if it would be ok to use instead???
