thanks for the info!

I use Sulky bobbin thread for my sewing and OESD bobbin thread for embroidery. They seem to work the best for me.

I don't have any issues with coats and clarks threads. I've been using them recently - just bought a spool of yellow and did FMQ on my mechanical Brother and it was just fine.

When I bought my sewing/embroidery machine, the instructor in the "new owner" class did a bit on different threads; and she told us that we should never use C & C in our machine because of the amount of lint it produces. Ever since then, I never use it.

I am so lucky that my Kenmore/Janome has peon tastes. As long as I talk nice to her, she accepts any old thread and does a beautiful stitch and she doesn't care what bobbin thread I throw at her either. Mostly her diet consists of C and C, Connecting Threads, and an occasional Sulky or Gutterman. She even accepts Signature and, if desperate for a color, Serger thread with cotton in the bobbin. Does this nullify my board membership? Oh, no, I should never have confessed.
PS, this is the truth, but all in jest.

When I bought my first Janome, I asked if I could use C & C thread in it, and the dealer said I could. I was leery because my friend had a Viking and she had to use certain thread in hers. I have never had trouble with C&C thread and I know a prize-winning quilter who uses it in her masterpieces. She likes the little fuzzies on it to help fill in the quilting. I always buy mine when JoAnn's has their half price sale. The biggest problem I see is that it sometimes wears at the needle when hand stitching bindings, etc. Just have to remember to move the needle down every few stitches. I mainly hand quilt with C&C, too.

I'm a Superior fan as well as Robison/Anton. Tried a spool of thread from Connecting Threads and was pleasantly surprised. It works as well as the Superior and is much cheaper. I save the King Tut for quilting and I piece with the Connecting Thread's thread.

I went over to Superior thread and bought a lot of different colors from the Bottom Line. Absolutely love it, strong but very very thin. It is so strong you can almost floss your teeth with it, Just kidding, but you can fill your bobbin with a lot of thread with it.

I use bobbin thread of one kind or another when I embroider. I don't care for the way a thicker thread makes it feel when it's done. Have you tried one of the many finer threads made for this?

After years of using Coats and Clark thread, it decided not to work for me. I, in fact, took my machine, twice, to the fix it up shop.....nothing was wrong but the thread. I now buy better thread....works like a charm.
