Isacord Thread
 

I'm looking to source bulk thread. Though I've heard of this brand I don't know it. Is it strictly embroidery thread or can it be used on a LA or as a universal sewing thread ? The price seems great.

Sometimes a price is too good. I wouldn't use rayon thread for quilting if that is what it is. JMO

I've used Isacord Polyester 40 wt embroidery thread for quilting on my Sweet Sixteen. I really like it. It behaves well and it has a nice sheen and it's a little finer than some other 40 wt's.

I have also used their 40 wt embroidery thread in my LA with great results. I would still be using Isacord until I discovered Glide.

Isacord is good thread. Like Feline Fanatic, I used it a lot until finding Glide with its prewound bobbins. The prewounds practically eliminate any tension problems with my Tiara.

Daffy

I used it for embroidery, (machine) and it is great thread. Leah Day uses it for her quilting.

I use it for quilting all the time - and if it's the color I need, will use it for anything else. Don't do much embroidery, but great for that as well.

I've used a lot of Isacord on my longarm and it's great. I just order three 5000m cones of Isacord today on a site, decent price and free shipping.

Jamie Wallen (well-known longarmer) uses Isacord polyester thread for most of his quilting.

Love Isacord! It is strong and has a lovely look. It is made by Ackermann, and sometimes bulk orders will use that name. I have found great prices at www.imachinegroup.com. Isacord is a thread that can take high speeds and high tension as needed for long arms.

I love Isacord Poly

and so does Leah Day... when I took her class last Spring she turned me onto Isacord for FMQ on my DSM. I have not compared it to Glide...

Isacord is great thread. I use it for everything. Piecing to quilting and all. Love, love, love it.

I have only used this for embroidery - my machine only likes this brand

I have used Isacord poly very successfully in my Gammill. Figured if it holds up to the high speed embroidery machine it will work on the LA. I love the sheen and the many colors. I haven't tried it in the bobbin but have no trouble with it using any of the Superior Threads in the bobbin with Isacord on top (I just find the best color match for the bobbin thread).

I don't have a LA but have the new Husqvarna Epic & use Isacord thread for my embroidery work. Have not used it to piece though. I buy mine from StitchintheDitch which a company based in Western Canada. Good service & pretty good prices. Every time I check them out they have embroidery thread on sale.

I have used Isacord for my art quilting and love how it looks and feels. I use it in my LA or my domestic with ease. Enjoy it!
