How does Floriani thread compare to Isacord?

I have never used Isacord thread before so I honestly can't
tell you.
But of all the thread I have used since I began machine embroidery
(Dec 2006 or 2007 can't remember), Floriani is my #1 favorite.
PLUS I love that there is more on the spools than some of the other
brands such as Maderia which has probably about 1/4 to 1/3 less than
the Floriani.
PLUS the beautiful sheen of the Floriani Polyester thread is just good
if not better than many (if not all) rayon threads.
Of course this IS just my personal opinion from my experience.

Quilty-Louise I totally agree. Though everyone's choice is different and the some machines are temperament. I tried Isacord one time and it worked well, but the sheen wasn't the same when the design was done. Today I ordered the 2 spool thread attachment for my emb. machine. This way the thread is standing up not down.

I mainly use Isocord thread and think I have all of the colors-it sews up beautifully with no trouble on my Bernina. I do like the Floriani thread because it has a beautiful sheen on the embroidered projects. Find Floriani works better for my machine when I put it in a cup and have it below the thread intake. But do love that thread.

While cleaning my sewing room I came across some designs that
needed to have some findings added to them.
So I spent a couple hours today finishing them.
These designs are by Sonia Showalter Designs. For the "blue" feet
I added a black rhinestone to the heel for those who might be fans
of the "Tar Heels".
