deal in Canada? My machine is a Janome. Since I have started to embroider I have just bought the threads I need at the store, usually it is coats or gutterman-(expensive). I am finding I am going through a lot of thread as I am so inspired by the talent of all who contribute to the art of this wonderful craft! I would like to thank all who help me in advance. Corinne :)

I like Metro Embroidery, not sure if they ship to Canada. Designs by Sick has a real good deal, 50 spools for $30. but not available to ship to Canada.

I purchase mine (Madiera) through Allstitch, but I know many Cuties have begun using and like Mettro. My machines have done well with Madiera so I am not fixing what isn't broke and trying new threads. BTW Coats thread leaves a lot of lint if you are sewing with it. Hope you settle on a brand soon.

Thank you for the link-I always use Madiera (my machine doesn't like Metro, always have trouble) I will try here next time I need thread.

I use madiera thread for both my Janome 350 and 11000SE. At first, on ebay I bought the 349 spool thread with chest. It is a great way to store the thread. Now, I buy refills at allstitch.

I go to thread art. com they are really good and I use a Janome too. I got a large thread stand and use the big spools. Been real happy with the thread. Use the poly since it doesn't fade as bad as the rayon.

I have purchased thread from smartneedle.com it comes with a filled bobbin with each spool. I haven't had any trouble with it. My machine is Hus Viking.

I also like the thread from Metro Emb. Thread. It is great thread, & I love the colors. The large spools are especially a great deal. I bought a Cone Thread Holder from Hancocks Fabrics (on sale under $5), & just thread the machine normally. I use for all embroidering, FSL's, & regular embroidering. Hope this helps you, Tammy

I also purchased a large set from Metro Thread and have not had any problems with it. It is a good buy.

Metro gets my vote... bought in bulk and never looked back. Janome 350e and 11000se both like the thread.

I have tried different brands and I Love, Love Love
Metro. No problem with the Metro. I have bought the storage cabinet or drawers there also and when I can I will but another. It is a great deal when it is on sale the drawers that is as well as the thread. Colors are great and I just need a few more and I will have completed there first two sets. Will get more when I can. The sheen of the thread is awesome. It also depends what thread your machine likes.
Good luck!

Metro gets my vote! Great pricing and great product for me. I have every color they make. Best to buy in the sets if you can...Large cones are around the $2.00 price in the sets and small cones are only about $.75 in the sets. It's Polyester and has fantastic sheen. I've had a bit of a problem with their prewound bobbins though. Sometimes the jam up a bit, so I usually just wind my own...with Serger thread of all things as my dealer recommended.

I have the Janome MC11000SE.I use to buy my Robison Anton thread at discountembroidery supply. Then, the wonderful cuties here sold me on Metro and I absolutely love it. My RA was rayon,but the poly from Metro has just as much if not more sheen. My machine loves it. Carol

I have a Janome 11000SE and my machine as used Robison-Anton, Jenny Haskins, Thread Art, and other lesser names but after my 200 Thread spools started to going fast, I bought the 116 spools of 5000m thread from Metro in the bulk package.....I have only had problems with one thread since I have started emb. on my machine and it was a metallic and even the teacher (who use to be a Janome dealer herself couldn't get it to work)....Metro is great...and will order the varigated as soon as I make some room for more thread......
