Thanks. I am using a 14 which should be OK but just in case used both an 11 and 16. Still had a problem. I know others have had problems with Coats & Clark and maybe they would be fine for piecing or general sewing, just not with the speed of FMQ. I grew up sewing with their thread but I know nothing, for the most part, is as good as it was in the past. I think I'm just going to go back to the Gutterman which I have done all the other ones with or try the Connecting Threads. Most people have had great luck with them. I appreciate your reply.
