That is a good price. Wish I had the money right now to get the sets they are an awesome price.I have a Brother QC1000 and it pretty much likes what ever I put in it. Gutterman, Coats, Connecting Threads. But I do like variegated.

I use Aurifil a lot and love it. But I also use John Flynn's "So Fine". I have some huge cones I got at quilt shows. It's very smooth, fine and burys nicely inseams. You can also get smaller spools for a nice display! :)

All I use is Aurafil. It lasts for every and I never have a problem with it.

Surf the net. there are several places that sell at a discount. My quilt shop also recommends the same. I buy the light gray and use it in almost everything. Bottom line(light gray) in the bobbin. It's costly but it goes a long long way, wouldn't use anything else.
I have a 153 and have used Coats & Clark in it for years. Then bought a 640 tried using it and the lint was terrible and that ended that.

I have a Bernina, and I use Superior thread, basically because I've found it to have less 'lint'. I'm going to try some Aurifil though! Thanks for the website for the discount! I do use Isacord for embroidery with Bottom Line in the bobbin.

I see there is a 28wt, 40wt and 50wt Auriful. Which one do you use? What is the difference?
Right now I am using Guttermann and am going to try the Sulky polyester invisible thread on a project.

Most any thread will work. Aurifill is good but not necessarily the best. I have used all kinds including old thread in my Bernina and they work great. the suggestion about cost per yd or foot is a good one and is really economical in the long run to get the larger spools in those colors that you use the most of - light gray, white, off white, beige, etc. I have a friend who pieces with light gray and uses a large cone. don't let the shop secuce you into believing "there's is the only one". This has happened to me when I needed just a little of a color and bought a large spool that I used one time. The local quilt shop is a dumping spot for sewers and quilters cleaning out their threa

their thread collection and it included some 25 cent spools from Woodworth. It worked fine for what I was doing.

Michael: Do you know about another web site for men quilters. It is one of the Yahoo Groups under QuiltGuy.
Join us. Good conversation and exchange of info, ideas and fat quarters and even round robins.

Some machines are thread picky. I had a Singer that would not use Dual Duty. My HQ16 will only use Maxi Lock. Another site is atlantathread.com. It's a small company actually less than 20 miles from me. You can even pick up, but it's guaranteed same day shipping. Thread colors sitting out are very pretty, but they can collect dust very quickly.
