Sometimes when you find a product you love, you want to tell everyone. This is one of those times. But first, a bit of backstory...
A few months ago, my husband bought me a Brother PE525 embroidery machine for my birthday. He really loves me. :) So the first thing I did was order a huge set of Embroidex thread from Amazon. I was so excited to make my first test pieces. Things went great the first few minutes, but after that I kept getting the "check upper thread" message. My thread was shredding every time I tried to embroider.
I kept trying and sought some advice. I joined a Facebook group of other embroiderers and discovered the solution to all my problems...Sewer's Aid. It is a fabric-safe silicone lubricant that can be applied to the thread. I just add a line to the thread before embroidering and voila, no shredded thread!
If you are struggling with shredded thread, try Sewer's Aid. I picked mine up on Amazon for around $7, but you can also find it at most sewing or craft stores. A little goes a long way and it is worth every penny.
