All the brand names of thread are good threads. Superior, Guttermann, Aurifil, Sulky, Fil Tec, YLI, Isacord, Mettler, Signature, Star, WonderFil, Robison Anton, Essential, and some have a bad rep like Coats and Clark. Why? I don't know but many seem to not like that brand. It works fine for me in my machine. That's the key, to find a thread your machine likes and that fits your budget.

BellaBoo is right. There are lots of different threads; try them and find the right one for your machine. I have a Viking and it sews best with Coats & Clark thread. It seems to skip stitches with other brands.

I really like the new C&C Dual Duty XP threads. The older C&C thread had a backwards twist and in some machines this twist would shred and break. But the new XP thread is a forward twist and runs thru most machines wonderful.
IMHO, no matter the price of the thread, if you find a thread that works for you keep using it!

I've used Coats and Clarks for sewing for years, but this weekend I was stitching on my most recent D9P and the upper thread kept breaking.. about the 3rd time I started checking
the broken end only to find a little "knot" at each break..
looks like there was a "slub" in the thread that would not go through the needle eye. Very disappointed. Changed to a spool of Mettler and had no more problems.
