Poly is more colorfast. Rayon has a nice sheen, but not quite as durable. Allstitch is a great place to shop, especially for stabilizer. They have a great page of instructional links:

Emblibrary also has great info:

As you knowt, this board's emphasis is on quilting, but specific embroidery questions may be answered. There are several BBs out there who's emphasis is on machine embroidery. If you google you will find them.

There's a thread on this site, called Embroidery Machines Lets Chat & Have Fun. It's not super-active, but I've learned a lot from it.

My thread of choice is Floriani Polyester Thread. It has an AMAZING
sheen like rayon thread, but with the strength of poly. A little pricer
than some of the other brands, but the spools tend to have MORE
thread than some of the other brands (like Madeira thread).
This is of course MY personal preference for thread.
