Threads for Longarm Quilting 

Amy Sindlinger that thread is YLI Longarm Professional thread.

@@sunrisequiltstudio I could not hear the title either, so thank you .

@@sunrisequiltstudio Where do you get the thread?

@@ruthtweto6457 I used to buy it from Linda's Electric Quilters, but they no longer carry it. I have since switched to OMNI thread.

@@sunrisequiltstudio Oh my there are so many to select from. Do you use the one called, Bottom Line? I had such trouble with cotton thread breaking on my long arm machine, I am wanting to switch to polyester. The one called Bottom line looks like it might work.

I've never tried Isacord, but I have used Glide. I've used it in the bobbin as well and haven't had any problem. Sometimes I use a cotton or poly thread that matches the color of the Glide thread in the bobbin. I think the differences in the texture of the threads helps keep the knot securely tied. You might try using a cotton or poly in your bobbin with the Isacord and see if that helps.

Sunrise Quilt Studio that’s my plan. I am expecting to receive my color card for so fine 50wt in the mail tomorrow. Then I can try to match some of my thread with that and give it a try. Thank you so much for your kind reply. I appreciate your information!

Hmm. I no long have any King Tut so I can't verify that, but all the thread I have now only has the Tex on them. I think that the 2 terms have always been intermixed in the longarm world around here where I live. No one seemed to mention Tex, but always talked about weight - even if the label only said Tex.
