What is your favorite thread for FMQ'ing on your small home machine?
I'm having fits of trouble using Sulky thread in my Janome machine for FMQ'ing. I am wondering what brand of thread you all prefer for FMQ'ing? Thanks!

some embroidery threads (sulky) do not work well for free motion quilting.
visit connecting threads, Atlanta Thread Company or Superior threads --
Superior threads have lots of great information and charts you can print off telling you what threads are good for- the differences in sizes/weights and what needles to use with what threads- an invaluable resource.
i love the quilting threads from Connecting threads and Superior threads.

Aurifil 50 WT Sometimes when the thread breaks it might be because the needle opening is too small. I quilt on my Janome 6500 and it is a thread snob. It can not handle much else. I also use a top stitch needle 90/14 schmetz. I also use a vintage Bernina 830 recorder and can use thick thread on it as long as I use the top stich needle.
