I haven't tried this Brothread thread but as for embroidery thread used on quilting machines, I've tried both Fufu (now known as Floriani) and BFC from BFCreations, both are the trilobal 40wt. I've had no trouble with either one including the metallic from BFCreations. I've got so much of each of these brands, it will be quite awhile before I'll have to search for a new thread for quilting. Plus I have lots of quilting thread from Connectiong Threads, both their cotton and polyesters. None seem to give me troubles on my quilting machine, an Innova.
