You are all wonderful for offering to help me, thank you so much. The fsl place names and placemats are to be in silver, white and burgandy, to match the dress. Making fsl butterlfies to place on tables and some fsl bolws for the almonds and whatever else Lara needs to make this her special day.Guess I will need a fair few spools.

I do wish I was not so isolated here. Maybe I need a trip to Newcastle for Shopping therapy.

Have you tried spotlight here in south aust... i do know that new managers took over and they have stopped alot of things in different stores like embroidery and sewing classes etc. which is a shame. anyway to answer your question i use QA ( some of as some break alot eg the black i use them for bobbin fill i use the white for this too its cheaper) La sarta and if its a special colour i use madiera.. you can have your machine tension set for the cotton you use the most thats what the guy who services mine does hes gr8. so try QA, La sarta, airplane from embroidery source ( had no probs with) or madiera ( bit more expensive) good luck Ash ps i have an innovis 1500D

Thank you, have been on to the marathon website here in nsw and they will send me a sample so maybe will switch. its just gettting the tread to match the material. Its not like I have NO threads, there are plenty for other things, just need this special colour.

I have 3 Brother machines, PC8500, 900D lighter and can carry to class and the Innovis 2500D and I also use all types of thread such as Maderia, Sulky etc. I use prewound bobbins and they work fine.

Thank you will look it up as to where I can get it.

I have a Galaxie 3000 and use all sorts of threads on it with no problems. My friend who has the same machine often has problems. I buy thread from all over the place. The main sources have been my dealer and I get Isacord from him and then I have a huge assortment of thread I got from ebay which is Isafil, but I also use a lot of unknown brands. Hope you can get what you want, it is a brand I have not heard of
