[amayausers] Re: 60 weight thread - detail embroidery

BlankJohn,
Do you have the small spool of Madeira 60 wt? If you do the problem could very 
well be the thread dropping down from the spool and getting caught which in 
turn causes your thread to break. I experienced this for a long time before a 
Madeira rep called and I told her about it. Now when I use the small 60 wt. 
spool I use the Madeira spool holder and thread net and viola', no problems 
thereafter. I can give you her name and number if you would like to contact her 
regarding this. She sent the thread nets to me free of charge, the spool 
holders I purchased when I bought the thread, they were pretty inexpensive.
You also need to adjust your material thickness accordingly as it's a lighter 
weight thread. I also use cotton bobbins when using 60 wt. and have one bobbin 
case adusted (tension) specifically for this. I always run with a 65/9 needle, 
Organ.
I've also heard very good reports about Isalon from Isacord. It's a 40wt. poly 
that runs and sews like a 60 wt. I haven't tried it but would definitely give 
it a try if the opportunity arose.
Good Luck!

  Ok, I know we talked about this a little recently, but I'm not sure I got one 
question answered :)

  1) Besides Madeira - are there any other brands that you all are using in the 
60 weight?  The spool we got of 60 in poly from them seemed to break a lot 
(even after moving it from needle to needle and changing rollers etc.)
  2) Needles... what brand do you use with the 60 weight.  60 or 65 needle size?

  3) Poly or Rayon in 60 weight?
