Best Thread for Computer Sewing Machines
#1
I need some advice. I recently purchased a Pfaff Creative 4.0. I understand for the machine to work properly I have to buy really good quality thread. I need advise as to what thread you all use and what would be best for my machine.
Thanks for your help.

Your dealer can give you some ideas. I use Mettler (that is what my Pfaff dealer sells) but I am sure there are many others out there. I saw some interesting looking thread at http://www.connectingthreads.com/Quilting.cfm that I wanted to look into.
I really think your thread choice also will depend on application. I wouldn't use rayon or silk for piecing but it is pretty on embroidery, etc. But I'm far from expert at this. I hope you find an answer. I'll be following along looking for answers as well.

Different threads for different applications.
My favorites:
Presencia 3 ply 60 wt cotton for piecing;
Isacord polyester for embroidery;
Superior Threads Bottom Line 60wt poly for embroidery bobbins;
Mettler Metrosene Plus for garments;
Mettler Silk finish mercerized cotton 50wt for general sewing.
