    Has anyone used the Metro brand embroidery thread? If so, what do you think of it? I just bought a "new to me" embroidery machine and saw their prices. They seem really good, but usually if it's that good, there is a reason.

    I have been using Metro thread for 3 years now. I have all their colors. My Brother machines like it better than Sulky. It is a great buy and I will keep using them and can't wait until they come out with new colors.

    My DH bought me the complete colour range for my birthday today but I got them early, yaay!! I did try a couple before he ordered them and they worked great. Have had a little problem with ALL threads spinning back and wrapping around the holder but have fathomed out how to avoid this now. If you are not sure just buy one and try then go for the sets??

    I use it ALL the time. My Brother and Babylock machines love it. Much better than Coats and Clark thread. Funny how some machines can be so picky. I have all the colors and it has great shine.
