I guess I'm the oddball. I use only ARC and have no problems. If I get a
break I can usually find the problem in the design. I don't even have
problems with thread I've had sitting around for three years. I just put on
a cone of black that I forgot was in my freezer for the last three years.
No problem. I do keep my thread closed up in a humidity controlled
invironment. I rarely have thread problems with the designs that I
digitize. I have also heard that Isacord is very good. The one I have seen
cause allot of problems is Rapose. It comes off the cone too lose and can
go through the thread feed rollers in large loops causing breaks and design
quality problems.
