Has anyone use Marathon(spelling?) embroidery thread? What do you think of its quality vs price? Thanks for any feed back.

i usually stock up on marathon thread at the quilt show each year. i have several large spools (5000m) of colors that i use most often and several spools of speciality threads. their stabliziers are fine too.

I use Marathon and Mettler, both excellent quality.

I have been using Marathon thread for 10 years now. I have a Janome 300E. My machine loves this thread. I started using metro thread this year, but the only way I can get it to work is on a metal thread stand on the right side of my machine. The metro spools are shorter and bigger around than the marathon spools. grannieannie

I'm sorry Clawton, Marathon is not one that I have used. I have & am using the metro the others r telling u about & like it. *

I have used Marathon, in fact I own quite a few spools... have no trouble with it. Equally, I like Metro thread, and it's less expenive... EXCELLENT quality.

Thank you.

I use Marathon thread a lot. I probably have 30-40 spools of it. My Brother Quatro loves it, and the thread has a very nice sheen. I buy mine at Terradon for $1.75 for 1000m. I think that you'll like it. *4U
