What kind do you use. I've tried the cheap stuff from Walmart it was fair but the was told nymo? was the best I think it is awful? I waxed and stretched like instructions say and it raveled really bad. Any suggestions? Thanks

Nymo is the only one I have used and it works great for me. Maybe you got a bad spool? I usually only get the big spools, was yours one of the small ones? I have tried one of those before and my thread kept kinking up like it was still on the spool. Maybe that's what happened to yours.

I just like the big spools so I don't have to deal with all the little curly q's from from small spool. :D

I prefer nylon upholstery thread.
It comes in quite a few colors, has strength and is easy to work with.
