Default Thread Question-Very Confused

I have a Juki TL98Q which is a workhorse of a machine and makes a perfect stitch no matter what thread I use. Because I have stitched for many years, I had a huge collection of every type of thread imagineable from new to rather old. My machine has never complained about Gutermann, Coats and Clark, Signature, serger thread, very old Drima or anything else. Other quilters were always talking about "better thread" so I decided to treat my machine and bought Wonderfil Invisafil Wt 100 in a lovely silvery shade ($12.00 for a large spool) that would blend so well with my fabric. My machine will absolutely not stitch with it. It starts, sews five or six stitches and promptly breaks. Should this thread only be used in the bobbin and not in both the top and bobbin? I have changed the needle and bobbin, cleaned the machine and adjusted the tension and re-threaded it several times. It seems that this thread expensive or not is giving my machine serious indigestion! Any thoughts?
