I have a Brother and used to use Coats & Clark. Then all of a sudden one day the thread repeatedly broke, and I kept rethreading over and over. I switched to my embroidery Exquisite thread and that is what I have used since for both my quilting and embroidery.

My Babylock Serenade will sew with any thread, but the thread cutter function is particular about brands. With the wrong brand, the cut thread "unthreads' from the needle and zips up, disappearing inside the front of the machine. I have to fish it out and rethread.

I have a Bernina, Janome, Brother and new and vintage Singers. I can use all brands of thread in any of them. I think the right size and type of needle is the key. When I was test sewing on the new Bernina, the thread used in the shop on most of the machines was Signature cone thread. Some of the other models of Bernina had C&C thread on them. The shop owner sold Aurifil, Superior and other brands but she didn't use them for testing sewing on her shop machines.

I have a 9 yr old Baby Lock Ellegante and I use all kinds of thread on it. For some threads I change the tension, for some I thread through a safety pin taped close to the wheel and then through the regular thread path. I guess what I am trying to say is that maybe it is not the thread all the time.
