I like to use YLI lengerie/bobbin thread in the bobbin when sewing with metallics. I think there is a little give in it and therefore doesn't "cut" the fragile metallics. Love using Sulky Sliver for embellishing gift items and always use the YLI for this thread.

Because it is just not good thread...sorry but true. I heard a lecture about thread and she said that it is a short staple cotton which makes for lots of "fuzzies".

c and c thread will NOT work in my embridery machine so I don't buy this at all. I don't use sulky either. To quilt I use gutterman when it's on sale

I have a Kenmore/Janome and I agree; it so isn't picky about they types of thread. I recently took a class using rayon thread and almost all of the class had to use a micromex needle because it kept breaking and causing nest in thier quilts; not my machine I used the same needle I use for all things. My favorite thread is Aurofil; especially when I'm doing piecing where the seam allowance is very important. It's 2 ply and I couldn't believe the difference that one extra thread made in my blocks plus the Viking dealer said it was the best to use in my mega quilter.

I've been using the c&c thread in the Brother machine and have never had any problems with it (it has a lot of lint on it, though). I just purchased a Pfaff and was told not to use c&c in it because of the lint, so bought some mettler thread - but that is soo expensive - paid $6 for a small spool and thurned out it was polyster. Worked fine, but don't like the price. Ordered some thread at Connecting Threads - really like the price $2.50 for 1200 yds of thread! I just started sewing with it and I'll see how it goes.

There is nothing like Bottom Line for the bobbin. You will be surprised about how much it will hold, because the thread is fine but strong. It's the only thing I use.

My Pfaff does not like it when I use coats and clark. I tried Connecting Threads and both we like it. You can't beat the price. We both like Guiterman also. A little more pricey than Connecting Threads though. I have heard that Superior is great. I will probably try it next.

I have never been able to use it in any of my embroidery machines.
Use strictly Janome bobbin thread and love it. |
