I've use all kinds..Robinson Anton, Sulky and Maderia. They've all worked well with me so far. I haven't found/used a great metallic thread just yet, but I understand Superior Threads has a good one.

I agree that Superior Threads has the best Metallic--just finished some FSL angels, and they stitched without a hitch :)

There won't be one answer for this one! Everyone has their favorite, and my favorite is Madeira Rayon 40. Welcome to Cute!

Wow, this is one of those questions we all wish there was ONE answer to, but it seems to be a case of trial-and-error for most of us.

I have a Brother machine, and of course its the Brother thread that my machine loves.

Welcome to Cuties :) xXx

Welcome Tavanna, and I see you have some wonderful answers already. I also use Metro threads and the ones from Australia through Scrapdragon called Dragon. I have only ever had problems with the black Dragon thread and was informed (on this site) that the black thread is dipped twice in the dye and weakens it. So I prefer the Metro - I've had no problems with them.

A big Aussie welcome from me! Love and blessings Chris
