Hi everyone! Hope you are having a good saturday. I have specialty bobbin thread for my embroidery machine. Which I might add works very well. Has anyone ever used this in their sewing machine bobbin also? Just curious as to how it worked. I have two huge bobbin threads one white, one black.

My embroidery machine sews also...I use regular thread in the bobbin to embroider (when I'm too lazy to switch) and I use embroidery thread in the bobbin to sew..it doesn't seem to make a difference in my machine...as long as the bobbins are wound tight and the tension is Ok...

Hi girls, Chrisantha you are lucky if you can embroider with ordinary thread and it doesn't show through the top. I recked so many trial projects experimenting with normal thread. I traded my machine in for different reasons and now I have a top model and the latest edition sewing /embroidery machine and love it. I haven't wrecked any projects yet, but maybe also because I always, always......... use embroidery thread in the bobbin. I figure that it's not worth taking any chances. I once used a very fine serger thread with my old embroiery/sewing machine in the bobbin to embroider and it usually worked. It's a good idea to have a separate bobbin holder for your machine so that you don't have to keep adjusting the tension screw. Good luck trying whatever works best for you. Buttons
