Hi ladies! Thread question.

My local dealer only sells Metter (which are nearly 3x more than the other kinds), Brother and Floriani threads. I get a great discount from him and trust him (mostly). I love Floriani thread but my Janome refuses to stitch with it and I've tried everything - including setting the thread up about 10 feet away to give it more time to unwind before it gets there. I slowed the machine down as much as it would slow and it still continually breaks.
That being said - I love the rayon sheen that Floriani has and according to him they are the only manufacturer that has it. So….. what other types of threads do I have available to me that will stitch up shiny and pretty like the floriani threads do?

They can't be the only ones with shiny-looking thread - right? The brother thread stitches out perfect (it just has that dull look to it) and I bought metter today, I just haven't tried it yet.

My persnickety machine is a Janome MC10000 purchased from the dealer with one previous driver :) Now that I have it working with Brother thread - I love it. I just have to figure out how to get the shiny stuff to stitch on it!!

Thanks for the help.
