Have you tried asking on the APQS forum someone there usually has a solution.

Sulky is a good name brand of different types of thread. Rayon is not a good quality thread no matter what brand though. I use a small size needle 80 or 70 when I use rayon for decorative stitches. I start with the tension at 0 and turn up 1/2 setting at a time until I have perfect tension.
