Lorchen OFFLINE Posts: 2639 Thank you received: 50	I am convinced that machines, domestic or longarm, each have their own 'personality'. My Husqvarna Interlude does not like Bottomline (top or bottom), but loves all other Superior threads. My elderly and much loved Frister & Rossman Cub4 performs beautifully with Bottomline (top or bottom). So, I just use what my machines seem to prefer. Lorchen

I love the Bottom Line "pre-wound bobbins" too. I bought them mostly for my longarm. I wanted a less thready look when I was micro stippling. Now, it's my thread of choice for my little Bernina 150 and my longarm when I SID(stitch in the ditch). Besides with the pre-wounds there is 118 yards of thread on each "L"-size bobbin!! That means less bobbin changes and more sewing & quilting, making me very happy customer!!

Thanks, Bob & Libby!

I mean, if it's strong enough for the bottom, I'm assuming its strong enuf for the top! I'm going to ask Bob the Thread Guy today at the Festival. This sounds like a great alternative for silk on the top!

Silk thread for quilting is not only expensive, it is hard to come by in my neck of the woods.

When Gina Perkes (episode 308) stated she used BottomLine in her long arm machine quilting, I thought I'd give it a try in my Bernina 630. I bought a supply of BottomLine in one of my big orders from the USA and I have used it as bobbin thread in my quilting and embroidery but never as the top thread. Wow, I used it free motion, with the walking foot, and with the embroidery module to do quilting. Love it.

It melted into the ditch stitching as well. Give it a try.
