Hi All,
I recently purchased a new machine Janome 300 embroidery only. We had a Brother but wanted a bigger field. We have been using Brother thread and wanted to get into more colors than Brother offers. We purchased Rayon Robison Anton after several people recommended that to us. We found that it breaks quite easily while threading in our new machine. It has also broke twice while stitching the one pattern we've done. We also think we don't really like the shiny result for our work. So we started investigating more thread.
Who actually manufactures Brother thread? Is Arc and Isacord the same thread? What thread do you use and why. Do you mix poly and rayon in the same pattern? Do you mix thread weight? Is Mettler color number really the same as Isacord color numbers? How do you match all the different numbers anyway?
Thanks for helping to "color my world"
