Not sure where you are from but I know that some have bought Metro and speak very highly of them. I have thought about getting some but the post to the UK puts me off... My closet Cutie friend bought some of the SICK threads and is very happy with them - again post puts me off. One day if I get to the USA I will buy some threads.

I use both Metro and SiCK threads and they stitch out beautifully. I've ordered the king size and the large cones and there's no difference in the thread quality. The price is nice and the colors and sheen are lovely. I've haven't had any problems. Any thread breaks are user error. LOL

I am one that sings the praises of the Metro. I bought all 166 colors and a gross of prewounds and I LOVE them. I will use them again.

I am so glad you asked this question, I have been trying to work out the best place to get some large sets of threads. I live in Australia. Is there a weblink where you can order the metro threads? Or is there an Aussie cute who has a better idea.

I have several different kinds my favorite being R/A from shoppers rule the cost and shipping is very reasonable. I ship to Ont, Cananda. I also use thread art I like it as well also get stabalizer from them. I do have some from sick and also get stab from them comes very quickly. Others I have are Gamut, Marathon and gutterman. I believe we all have some type of thread our machines do not like mine does not like brother. I have not tried Metro as they will only ship full sets to Canada unless that has changed recently. Hope this is helpful.

I think a lot of it depends on your machine. I use Metro with no problems. My machine does not like Sulky or Maderia they break, break break with me, yet my daughter has the very same machine I do, we use the same needles, everything & she has no problems with the threads I cannot use. Makes you wonder doesn't it. Each machine has a mind of it's own.

It depends on your machine. I use isocord but I have a Babylock. What does your book or dealer reccomend for you machine? Suzanne
