Your machine should be able to take about any quality thread. I love SoFine from Superior for piecing. I generally use Guterman for general sewing. For quilting I use whatever has the color and weight I like, but mostly from Superior because I can get it easily here. Stay away from Coats and Clark in general. Metallics take a comfort with adjusting tension that you might need more experience. I have used Yenmet very successfully though.
