Re: Thread question
I use BFC-poly from BFC-stash.com. A huge selection of colors with a better price than others of similar quality. This is the thread that BFC-creations.com uses for their designs.

Re: Thread question
So far nearly every thread I've tried has worked fine.
I got a case of cotton Mettler threads with the machine - 30,40,50 and 60 weights which are great.
