I like the Polyster thread from Marathon thread. I just like the Poly. instead of rayon.

I got a bunch of thread when I got my Brother embroidery machine. I think it's polyester and it works really well for me...and my machine.

I've used their poly but not rayon. It works fine in my Ellisimo Gold as long as I am using the correct needle.

Rayon thread will fade with washing...poly won't.

I second this. I also buy from metroemb.com I've bought their poly thread and their prewound bobbins work great in my machine. It is very picky about bobbin thread. Their prices are great and they ship out really quickly.

I have a 6 needle embroidery machine and I use poly only, I've read reviews about rayon and decided poly was the way to go. I have purchased mine from various places and recently Shoppers Rule has been having a weekly special. I got 6 spools for 4.99 plus shipping for a total of 8.29. The thread is great and my machine has no problem with it. I have paid the big bucks for Maderia, RA, etc. and personally I see no difference.

I use the poly threadart and I haven't had any trouble with it. I make lots of itms for children and the thread washes beautifully.

I agree. I bought their 160 spool collection a few years back, paid less than a dollar a spool, and have been very pleased with it.
Currently, their 1000m polyester machine embroidery spools are on sale. Time to stock up again.

I use Robinson Anton ,I find it to work just fine. When I did a Jenny Haskin quilt that's what she said to use. How she has her own thread.

I bought a nice lot off ebay awhile back and it has been fine for my machine (Viking). It doesn't fade on stuff I've used it on and it fills in nice too. Couldbe different machines handel the rayon thread different.
