About two years ago I switched from ARC thread to Isacord thread and it has made a world of difference. As far as bobbins I now run Coates brand exclusively. In the past I tried other "off brands" because it was on sale and they do not run as well as Coates... Just one persons opinion. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
