That's funny, Ann, . . . I've _heard_ the modern machines had trouble
with C&C, but my Pfaff has never (save for a couple of occasions) had
trouble with it. Now, all bets are off.
I bought some C&C all-poly thread simply because it was all I could
find. It's WAY better than the original all-poly threads of 30 years
ago-- but not nearly so nice and tidy as the cotton-covered one they
usta had.
I'm really glad I brought this up. It's giving me new ideas and things
to try.
Thanks to one and all!

I knew answers on thread preference would be all over the map--some
like "fancy pants European threads," some don't.Also interesting to
note that some want to match thread to fabric exactly, others don't
care. As to color, I veer towards the match exactly, but if I have a
spool that is close, I will sometimes use it. And, as I've said,
sometimes I can't find a good match with the European threads and
had to fall back on Coats and Clark, but only for hand sewing, since
my Bernina can't handle it. Guess I'll try the "new formula," and
see if I still have trouble.
