What brand of thread do other Cuties use just to sew, not embroider?

I use Madeira, Sulky, Robison Anton and a few others. What I have the most of is Sulky and Robison Anton. Have no problem with any of the ones I use.

Depends what I am sewing. My favourits are Zwicky and Guttermann.

Coats and Clarks, I used to buy those cheapo threads 2 for a dollar . But cheapo thread, cheapo results.

for machine and hand sewing I like Guterman. But some of my really old threads are Coats (hard to get now)

I also like gutermann thread. I usually manage to buy some when it is on sale - 2 for 1.

I use Robison Anton for reg sewing and Signature threads for quilting.

My machine hold the thread sideways, so if I use coats, it gets caught up on the little notch, even with the thread cap on. It seems like regular thread is scratchy in the tension part. It makes me have that feeling like nails on a chalkboard.....
Flowers for all your thoughts! and Thanks too!

try using spool holder behind the machine so you can use the coats thread if you want to.

I've never heard of that kind - might have to look again and then try it.
