I just rec'd mine and I really love the colors. It took me approx. 8 hrs. to go thru the colors to match them with the Brother color chart but I did it. I ordered the 116 color kit plus the verg. 10 colors. I will probably use them tomorrow.

Hi. I have a Brother Innovis 750D machine and mine is also fussy about the thread I use. Being in Australia I buy the QA thread from Spotlight as I am on a very tight budget. But I just perserve with the breakages, since I am only at the moment embroidering towels. *

Hi
I have brother 1200 and have thread breakages all the time. A waste of thread and Very frustrating.
Am ging to try other threads, could be cheaper in the long run

I used to have a lot of thread breakages until I switched from Schmetz to Organ needles. What a difference! My Innovis now sews like a totally different machine!

What size needle do you use
by gayle950 30 Apr 2009
Are these needles titanium or the chrome ones.

Chrome

I use either 75/11 or 90/14, depending on what I am embroidering. I see nothing in my machine manuals that says to only use Schmetz needles. I have an Innovis 2500D and a Quatro (6000D).

I have a Brother Innovis 1500D and I have used the Metro thread some when the design calls for a small amount. When I bought my machine, I was told to use nothing but Schmitz needles with it. I use 75/11 with a small red ring on the needle.

I'd question that statement about the needles from the person who said it. I can't find anuthing that says that in either one of my machine manuals.

Barb, I have a Babylock - which is a sister to the Brother and I like the way it stitches with it. Give it a try - there is a sale right now for 10% off for $50.00 or more - a very good time to try it - good luck - *4U
