I'm finding that I really like Madeira. It comes in 60 wt. which is now my choice for all small lettering. You won't believe the difference in how it looks. Of course you have to purchase longer tubes, and they aren't cheap, for the Amaya to use the big cones but it's worth it to me. I wonder why Melco didn't just put the longer tubes on so we can use any thread? Seems like a no brainer to me but who knows. I've tried RA thread too and like it better thatn ARC too. Remember, Russell asked for opinions and this is mine.

I tried a spool of Robison Anton poly and found I get less thread breaks, does anyone else think it is better then the Arc poly? > Russell Silva > R. S. Embroidery > 508-222-4433 > > >
