Ok, I got off subject and didn't reply to orignal question earlier. Sorry about that, but I did appreciate the advice that I got. I use Coats and Clark a lot because I live in a small town and Wal-Mart is where I can get it when needed. I have bought some at quilt shows and then when it is gone, I don't remember what kind it was. My sister-in-law bought the Connecting Threads Neutral Set for me for Christmas. I hope that it works well in my Bernina 1230, because I would buy it from them if it does. I can't wait to try it.
