happy sewer

I bought a spool of nylon and tried to use as embroidery bobbin thread but it just makes a glob when I am doing embroidery. Anyone know of any tips to help me. I do fine with polyester bobbin thread , but am hoping to use this huge roll of nylon. Any suggestions on where to find lower priced polyester bobbin thread? Thanks in advance. Have a great sewing day.

with embroidery machines, the bobbin probably spins too fast and the nylon cannot hold up to the heat.

I buy mine by the 100's on ebay.

Nylon is not good in the bobbin. How about FMQ with regular cotton in the bobbin and the nylon in the needle?
