Hello, MJ has just posted in the Embroidery / How Do I? forum of AmayaUsers Discussion Boards under the title of Preferred Threads. This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5750-Preferred-Threads Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** I like Robison Anton poly also. I have a bunch of Robison rayon thread and it doesn't work well at all on the Amaya -- frays all the time no matter what I do (slow speed, etc.). I use it on my Brother PR600 machine and the rayon works fine. I know they don't recommend rayon for high speed industrial machines because it's not strong enough. I have had TERRIBLE experience with a poly brand called Exquisite! Comes off the cone very akwardly, shreds all the time and the hole on the bottom is not big enough for the Amaya thread stands. I will never, ever buy that kind again. Glide has worked pretty well for me too. I've just tried a new brand called Iris from enmart.com and it is working well also and the price is good! I used the Madeira tall cones that came with the machine when I bought it and they're ok, but I just don't like the tall cones. I have not purchased any more Madeira since then. *************** =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
