You ca. It works perfectly well. But don't use the coated hand
quilting thread in your machine, unless you want to dismember you sewing
machine tension mechanism and clean it all off with white spirit...

Thanks, Kate! I do like the coated thread, but colors are limited.
Last time
I thought I had to have a specific color, I had to order a box of 6
spools.
Sometimes you don't want so much of a color you might not use again.

Its my very favorite thread Kate. In fact I have ordered some from Red Rock
threads to collect when I arrive in US in 10 days.I can get you some if you
would like more. They only charge $4 shipping. They love my Husqvarna too!I
get some great results when "thread painting"

Ooh, pretty!
I've bought from Redrock: shipping to the UK isn't prohibitive.
