So, I got some new thread that was on sale at the store and I thought it sounded great. It's made by Mettler and it's Quilting waxed extra strong thread. 30 some % cotton and 60 some % polyester. I think my machine can't handle how thick it is. The tension spring thingy keeps on grabbing onto the thread too much and making things bind up. I thought my machine was messed up, the timing or something? I thought to try regular thread...and it works like a charm. So, I really wanted a stronger thread that is more durable as I'm working on a quilt that I want to be very sturdy. Any suggestions? Is the thread I recently bought any good? Any other thread suggestions?

I'm really not used to using a machine to quilt, so bear with me! ;)
