What brand machine embroidery thread is the best to use?
I just got a Janome 300E embroidery machine, but I need thread so I can try it out!
Any machine embroidery experts out there who can give me advice on the buying thread? I’d especially like advice on what kind works best, where I can get it the cheapest, should I buy it in sets or on a per-project basis….
Thanks!
Maderia or Robison-Anton would be the best, next Sulky and then C & C.
You can purchase ARC thread here – http://www.threadartist.com/embroidery-thread-arc.htm I have never used it.
Most will be offered in Rayon, but Poly gives the same results and can handle bleach.
Try Allstich and Allthreads for prices.
Start with the basic colors and test the machine’s built-in designs.
When buying kits and collections you may end up with colors you will not use.
You may find you will have to choose “close” when it comes to buying specific colors.
When choosing designs to download from the Internet, they usually indicate the brand of thread used by the designer as will as a thread chart and possibly a color conversion chart.
Embroidery Library is one company that provides this information.
