Machine Embroidery thread help
Anyone ever use Isacord Thread? I am making lace snowflakes and NEED some (lots) of white. Of course I am trying to get the best price, nice quality, and a nice shiny color white. Please respond if you have a good type and price. I do have a JoAnn's 50% coupon, but thought maybe online might be better. Let me know your thoughts!
Thanks

I'm not an embroidery person, but I know that Metro Embroidery has good prices -- even better when you hit one of their half price sales! Here is the link: http://metroemb.com/store/
Edit: If you are familiar with Glide thread, both Metro and Sigma are supposed to be similar to Glide, which does have a nice amount of shine to it.

I think you will like the Metro and Sigma, I'm new to embroider and have a Brother machine and just added lots of Metro and Sigma to my supplies and they workup wonderfully. I just met a really nice gal at Spokane Quilt show,who creates and digitizes for a living and she recommends these threads as 1 of her top 3 favorites.

I use Isacord all the time, but not for embroidery. I use it for quilting. Love it. I do have to admit that I find it a little spendy ($6.00 per small cone, but great yardage); it is strong, smooth, and my machine loves it.

I followed a tip I read on this site was threadart.com, they just had a sale. Small cones $1.29 it works great on my Bernina 750. Isacord is recommended by my Bernina dealer, I have used it and it's great but expensive.
