weight of thread
#2
I use 40wt most of the time. My machine seems to like that weight best. I can quilt with a 30wt if I want some texture. My machine really has some problems most 50wt threads. Most quilters have a large stash of fabric. I have my share but in addition I am a thread snob. lol

I use 50wt Aurifil which is a 2 ply, so thinner than most 50wt, but not quite as thin as a 60wt. I have used Mettler 60wt as well ... in fact just picked up 4 large cones of Bottom Line 60wt in my "piecing colors" but I haven't put them on the machine yet. I got them at a going out of business sale and couldn't resist the price of $4.00/ea for large cones.
