I need some advice. I recently purchased a Pfaff Creative 4.0. I understand for the machine to work properly I have to buy really good quality thread. I need advise as to what thread you all use and what would be best for my machine.
Thanks for your help. |
Your dealer can give you some ideas. I use Mettler (that is what my Pfaff dealer sells) but I am sure there are many others out there. I saw some interesting looking thread at http://www.connectingthreads.com/Quilting.cfm that I wanted to look into.
I really think your thread choice also will depend on application. I wouldn't use rayon or silk for piecing but it is pretty on embroidery, etc. But I'm far from expert at this. I hope you find an answer. I'll be following along looking for answers as well. |
Different threads for different applications.
My favorites: Presencia 3 ply 60 wt cotton for piecing; Isacord polyester for embroidery; Superior Threads Bottom Line 60wt poly for embroidery bobbins; Mettler Metrosene Plus for garments; Mettler Silk finish mercerized cotton 50wt for general sewing. |
Presencia is really nice thread, absolutely no fraying or lint.

Aurifil, Aurifil, Aurifil.

I've discovered that my Janome does not like Coats and Clark but she loves Guterman.
|
Wow thats funny Because I always thought it was just me and my thread preference but my vikings both prefer Coats and clark or sulky and not Guterman I am glad it isnt just me
|
Never had an issue with Superior thread on any of my machines.

I think you just need to experiement with different brands of threads to see which one your machine likes. I have a Pfaff 7570 and that baby will take anything.
