Like the threads, my question and advice from all the ladies and gents, is what type of threads are you most happy with and give you the best look. I know there is a big difference in threads, and also do you need to buy the prewound bobbins, are they
special or something that I am missing. Hopefully will be getting a machine before snow flys. So excited just looking to see what is out there. I have a real good sewing machine that I am really happy with a Jamone 6500, so I am leaning towards just a EM.
I have a 2 Bernina's and had used mainly Isocord thread. Have recently discovered Floriani and love the sheen it puts on the embroidery designs. I also get quite a few of my designs from Embroidery Library.com, they are not expensive and sew out really nice. I do not use prewound bobbins.
