Isacord Thread - Does it sew up shiny?
I just received four of the 5,000 yard spools of Isacord thread as a Christmas gift (thank you family!!! yay!!!) and I am curious...does it sew up shiny? It looked shiny in the pictures online and it's a little shinier than my other thread on the spool. I have used the Coats & Clark embroidery thread from Jo Anns and it is REALLY shiny...has anyone used this thread and can you give me some insight? Thank you!

Yes, isacord is a poly thread that is often used for machine embroidery. As with most poly threads it is shinier than cotton. I just looked at a spool of isacord and c & c and it seems a bit less glossy, but embroidery threads are designed to be seen, so they reflect the light.

Hi I use Isacord all the time, but smaller reels and I find that it sews out beautifully...it has a slight sheen but is not over shiny...the only comment I would make is that it splits when trying to thread the needle, once threaded there is never a problem so I tend to use a metallic needle to make my life easier as it has a bigger eye and has made no differene to the finished designed...I'm sure you will become a fan...I have about 100 reels and there are so many beautiful colours I don't have !!!!

I bought some Isacord and my Bernina does not like it at all. I loved the colors and the weight of it but I think my machine is persnickity and I went back to Aurifil.

I personally like Isacord- and yes, it does sew up shiny. |
My Bernina loves Isacord. I use it all the time for embroidery. They say it is very good for quilting too.

Bernina loved Isacord so much they bought half of the company.
Are you using the top quality needles and changing as suggested by your dealer/ manual? I have never had a complaint about Isacord. Hope you can find the answer. |
I use Isacord almost exclusively on both my Baby Lock and Janome. I love it, especially the little bit of shine on my quilting. I learned about it from watching Leah Day's videos.

I used Isacord all the time on my Bernina (I have 2 machines) .... Maybe ur machines needs a tune-up...
