I asked on here about taking a machine in and a couple of people suggested trying a different thread. So I went to JoAnn's and bought some Sulky thread. Holy moly!! It's working fine! What's the deal? Why all of a sudden would I need to use a different brand of thread?
I have had nothing but trouble with the Coats & Clark machine quilting thread I bought recently. I will not be buying any more. When I searched about it, I found many people saying that it was not the same quality that it used to me. My last thread purchase was from Connecting Threads and it is working great for me.
