Hi...I have discover YLI thread...it is quite expensive but is the most beautiful thread to sew with...both my husqvarna and Pfaff love it....before I was using a coats 100% but it kept snapping...just don't have that problem any more....and if I need to unpick it comes away so easily. Haven't tried FMQ with FYI but they must have threads for it.

Thanks everyone for your input - only wish I knew about Coat's; but this is really the only time it has been a problem - however, I won't be using it anymore.

Always use that brand and never had a problem..Could be the bobbin thread you bought was for embroidery machine work?

always use coats & clark and have had no issues. sorry to hear of your trouble.

So funny how tempermental our little machines can be- a bit spoiled maybe. My machine LOVES coats and clark- and isacord but throws a tantrim every time i have tried to use sulky or gutteman. i haven't used connecting threads yet but want to same with superior threads. never even heard of it

I only use Coats and Clarks when I'm mending or making clothes and need thread to match - seems they have the best selection of colors.

That is why I use only Prewound Bobbins when I embroider....

i bought some Coats and Clark thread and it turned out to be poly on poly. but it does fine in my bobbin. not the top needle though.

That must have been my problem... none of my machines are a Brother. I am inclined to believe that our machines are picky... why, I don't have a clue. Guess they are a little like each of us. We have certain things we love; certain things we like and then, there are the things we can't stand or at least have a dislike for. LOL :lol: :lol:

I still buy the older Coats when I can find it. Recently found a shop that was going out of business and bought al they had for 25 cents a spool. I find the older thread ok but not the newer.
