She has been in the embroidery business a very long time and does a lot of teaching. She is always giving helpful information. Here is the email I received today:

You will enjoy her newsletters. She has a lot of information to share with embroiderers. Marcelle

Thank you for adding the link. It's an interesting article.

I had this happen to me with my new serger. The thread kept breaking every few stitches. I changed out the needles played with the tension etc.. I finally had to go to the dealer and it turned out to be the thread. As soon as they changed the thread it worked perfectly. So The dealer kindly changed the thread out for me. Seems the manufacture skipped a step in the process to save money. Needless to say after several customers had the same problem the dealer shipped her whole batch of thread back to the manufacturer. Goes to show you can not skimp on quality. Suzanne

I suppose it could happen with any thread, even thread for sewing. Marcelle

The bottom link doesn't work correctly but the first one just above her name does work fine. Marcelle
