I use my Brother SE270D as my regular sewing machine and it has a thread carthridge which only takes a certain size spool which is the standard one carried in most stores. My problem is that any of the all-purpose threads I buy are too coarse to sew smoothly. I keep getting thread jams.
Does anyone know of a source that makes a good all purpose thread?

Coats & Clark is the one that is common in my area and it's the one that gives me the most trouble. But it could be because I don't have their newest "version:. I just bought a new spool so I'm going to give it a try. I know that it didn't self thread. Do you have any problems getting your 270D to self thread?

I the HE240 which is the exact same machine. What I do is I use my thread cones or spools with a thread stand that I got for 6 bucks at Joann's.
I looks like this:

This way I can use whatever thread I want.
Hope this helps.

I have the same machine and I have tons of problems getting it to thread as well. The only thread that I use in it consistently that never gives me any grief is the gutterman thread that they sell at Joanns (maybe other places, that's where I get it though.) The gutterman embroidery thread does break though and I usually can't get it to thread with the needle threader.

I have a thread stand very similar and use it when I'm doing embroidery. But with regular sewing, I just wanted it to be "easy" you know!!
BTW, how can you tell when thread is too old to use? This is regular sewing thread that I've had I don't know how long? Is there a "test" you can do?
