I have a question for all those that do embroidery work. What brand thread would you recommend using? I've read reviews on several different kinds and some users will say a certain brand is the next best thing to sliced bread and other reviewers of the same thread comment it is the worst.
Thanks.
It all depends on your machine. They do seem to like different ones. I like Madiera but my machine doesn't seem too picky, it doesn't care for Coat's and Clark's at all. I would recommend getting one or two spools at a time until you decide what your machine likes.
I buy robison-anton because that's what I can get locally. I can't compare it to anything though.
I buy thread online from a company called designsbysick.com
There is a great variety in their box sets and have never had any problems with their thread.
I also buy robison anton, since that is what my local shop carries. I have been in a pinch out of town and bought some coats and clark and my machine did not like it at all.
Claire is so right, the best thread is the kind that your machine likes.
My machines aren't too picky about thread, they are more picky about needles. I LOVE Isacord for embroidery and FMQ. I have also used Metro thread for embroidery and it is great too and very inexpensive.
I just used cotton Aurifil to embroider and it worked great too!
My machine loves Floriani and hates Coats and Clark. I think the suggestion to by one or two spools and see what she likes is a good way to go.
For my Brother embroidery machine I use Brother polyester or the Floriani
Thank you so much ladies. At least now I have somewhere to start.
I use Robinson Anton Polyester and order it from All threads.com. They just had a sale last week and I ordered 40 spools!
I have used various threads including the ultra cheapo's from e bay and ordinary weight sewing cotton for free standing lace.
Marathon is one I really like, great colour range and sews beautifully.
I did have a sewing machine which absolutely hated mettalic thread...........just refused to sew with it. My 12000 does not seem to mind what you use, so far that is.
love floriani, is stitches wonderful and the colors are are great !!
I use Madeira or Robison Anton. My machines don't care for the coats either.
I only use Isacord because I think it looks the best.
Having fun with the variegated threads.
Getting ready to make a quilt with Patternista line and made this for fun today.
My DD 's name is Maggie.

I have a Bernina, and it is not at all picky about the kind of thread.
