My BabyLock is a thread snob!
I've been struggling with finding the right thread for my Baby and it appears that Coats XP is the only kind it likes.
Do you have a certain type of thread that only works for you?

I have a Babylock Serenade and it doesn't mind most threads. It's partial to Mettler & Aurifil. But, it doesn't mind Connecting Threads although it is linty. That's about all I use. I have never used Coats & Clark thread in her. Good Luck!!

I have a Bernina, Janome, Brother and new and vintage Singers. I can use all brands of thread in any of them. I think the right size and type of needle is the key. When I was test sewing on the new Bernina, the thread used in the shop on most of the machines was Signature cone thread. Some of the other models of Bernina had C&C thread on them. The shop owner sold Aurifil, Superior and other brands but she didn't use them for testing sewing on her shop machines.

I have a Baby Lock, for 5 years now. I have never had a problem with different threads. I have used different weights, different material, etc. The only thing I did find is that I need a smaller needle when using a 50 weight. Otherwise it slips out of the needle and I have to keep rethreading.

My Pfaff is a thread snob. After frustratingly auditioning a lot of thread, my Pfaff really only likes Connecting Threads cotton thread. So, when I bought my Babylock I just automatically started using Connecting Threads cotton thread and have had no problems at all.
