I have used poly thread for machine embroidery. It works just as nice as rayon. in a pinch I have even mixed them and no one can tell the difference. I use threadart embroidery threads A LOT. I usually prefer rayon but only because it will take the heat of an iron or dryer better. some people say their machines are fussy. I find as long as I'm careful with replacing the needles, using the right right size/type needle, and all the other normal embroidery care I have no problems. The threadart thread (rayon and poly)works as well for me as the more expensive threads.[/quote]
Thank you for the information. Think I will give it a try. Dar

Hi ladies, been a member for several years, though I have never written anything unti earlier today. I can't begin to tell you how much I've learned from all of you. I soak up all the hints and tips and download them to a alphabetical word document I've titled "QuiltingBoard Helps" and I download your beautiful quilts to a word document I call "QuiltingBoard Pics For Inspiration". Forgive me for taking so long to thank all you lovely ladies, I enjoy you sooooo much.
love and God bless each of you.

Just a note let you know... you may not want to use their Rayon thread. I tried to use it in both my Viking and my Pfaff embroidery machines and it shredded and actually got caught inside my machine. I have alot of it and can not use it. If someone wants it, let me know. I love their poly thread, and I have also used their cotton thread with no trouble. Just something to think about...
