long arm thread suggestions please
#1
I am getting my machine soon and would like some advice on what thread to use for the quilting. I want to do my practicing with the brand of thread I am going to use so that any problems that come up won't be repeated if I change thread types.

Congrats, you'll have fun! I have an HQ Avante, and have used thread from Connecting Threads, Superior Threads, Isacor, all cotton, and metallic threads. As long as I use correct needle, adjust my tension top & bottom, it likes it all. I'll use anything that looks good with what I am quilting.

Don't limit yourself to one thread! I use all kinds of threads, but my most used in the upper thread are King Tut, So Fine!, and Isacord.
I nearly always use either the Bottom Line or Filtec Magna Glides in my bobbin.
