I have read seversl posts from members stating that their machines perform badly when using c&c thread.

ALL my machines are okay with it - but all of my machines are older, from a 1950 necchi to a 1986 pfaff.

Is it something about the newer machines ? If so, what is it?

I am not saying c& c thread is "the best" - but my machines sew decently with it. Even stitches, no breakage, no snarling. When there were problems, the machine had gone out of adjustment. It was what was easily available (and what I knew about at the time).

I have come across " weak thread" - in cotton, cotton-poly, and polyester - from several brands - that was old or had been stored in unfriendly conditions.

I have also come across " old" thread that still seems to be "strong" -some of which appears to be "an inexpensive" brand.

So, because I have not had some of those problems, I am wondering what the causes might be?

(The thought that the dealerships may be trying to sell a more expensive thread has crossed my mind.)
