I use a lot of different kinds; Robison-Anton, Madeira, Sulky and Floriani. Floriani is my favorite. It is shinier than the others and my machines like it better. The others work, but the Floriani has fewer thread breaks and stitch problems.

I use Isacord more then anything else but use Bottom Line in the bobbin!

I use poly. under 75 cents for a spool. Here's the website if anyone is interested: http://www.metroemb.com/store/ |
I too, use Metro, was introduced to it by a board menber, this has saved me a bundle. Works great on my Vikin Rose and Vikin Topaz. I have also got a good amount of Sulky and the Metro works just as good for me and much less expensive.

I have not had any trouble with any brand but Brother. It tends to shred. Of course I bought a box of 60 spools. I have even used regular all-purpose thread without a problem. But if it is for something special I generally use guterman. The janome prefers it. and the singer just don't care except for the brother.
|
I have the Brother 4500D and use just about every brand of thread there is. I have has no problems at all.
|
I use sulky mostly in my Pfaff. The only trouble I have is with the metallic so I've just given up on them. Shall I put them in the freezer? What does that do?
|
I use C&C, but mostly Threadart. They have good thread and it is in my budget. Never a problem.

I agree - Marathon is great. I always use their royon threads in either the large cones of the smaller ones - very competitive prices too.

Would be interested in details of your supplier, I order my thread from US as it is so expensive here. Thanks

When I have purchased every color the dealer carries I don't know who I will buy from next, but I can't afford the prices of many of the brands in our stores with the number of colors I want. I can't tell when my designs are finished which colors are from Pakistan and which colors I paid $8 a spool for.

Thanks, have the info and looked up think I will be looking to place an order they have some good deals.

Having had a small embroidery business I learned quickly that Isacord thread is some of the best out there. I also learned that 40wt is just as important. Good Luck in your search. If you are at all interested in the vendors I used please feel free to PM me. Janette

I have a Brother 2500D and use Marathon (rayon mostly) and never have a problem. I have also used Gutterman with no problem.
|
Another vote for Metro here! I have a huge variety of thread colors now and at 1,000 yards of each thanks to their reasonable prices. I've had no problems with it on my BabyLock Unity.
|
I have used all the various thread, love the colors in Florini , use Sulky big spool when the on sale for 1/2 price at Joanne's, also have used Isacord and all the others. Sometimes get a lot of thread breaking or other times they work well.
