I check google for FAQs on threads but didn't get much.
While I'm enjoying the new embroidery machine immensely, I am astounded by the amount of thread lint one gets. I find myself dusting off the machine as it sews. I have mostly Coats and Clark and a few Sulky. I actually had the machine ball up once and it was knotted around a big clump of thread dust. Is this just the nature of a fast sewing machine and the same for other brands of thread as well?

I use Sulky on my Brother PE 200 and don´t have any problem at all with lint. I start every session with a quick wipe around the bobbin case and the thread path anyway, just for maintenance. There´s always a little in the bobbin house, but I can´s say I see much elsewhere!

Would you please tell me which thread you used. I use Coats&Clark Sylko trilobal polyester embroidery thread and find it excellent, no lint. I know they sell an embroidery thread at Wal/Mart and it is nothing like the Sylko.
I have a small collection of Marathon threads and love them. I don't have much problem with lint build up.

I like ARC polyester thread. It has a high sheen and stands up to repeated washing. So it's great for childrens clothes, nurses uniforms, etc.
You can get it from
They also have embroidery supplies. Hope this helps.

My Coats and Clark is the all-purpose cotton poly. Perhaps is it the cotton content that gives off so much lint. Shall have to search the net for the other brands mentioned. Thanks to all for the help.
I bought my set of Sylko thread from
