I bought a spool of nylon and tried to use as embroidery bobbin thread but it just makes a glob when I am doing embroidery. Anyone know of any tips to help me. I do fine with polyester bobbin thread , but am hoping to use this huge roll of nylon. Any suggestions on where to find lower priced polyester bobbin thread? Thanks in advance. Have a great sewing day.

with embroidery machines, the bobbin probably spins too fast and the nylon cannot hold up to the heat.

Nylon is not good in the bobbin. How about FMQ with regular cotton in the bobbin and the nylon in the needle?
