    Aurifil was my piecing thread of choice but I was having breakage issues during a class taught by Harriet Hargrave so naturally I was educated on the wonders of Presencia. A class mate let me borrow a bobbinful of Presencia for the class and my thread breakage problems went away, and I've been a Presencia fan ever since!

    Harriet sells it on her site, but Red Rock Threads has it for a bit less expensive (for the big cones anyway). It comes in 60 and 50 wt; both are 3-ply.

    I have started using Sewer's Aid on threads of all sorts, and it has pretty much solved that problem. No more breaking. Now I can use metalics and other fancy threads that I couldn't before. Doesn't matter what brand.

    Sewer's Aid does work really well. I used to use it on metallics and rayons. It was great. Thanks for reminding me about using it.
