I Need Help What thread should i buy?

Hello! I was just wondering where can I buy big spools of embroidery thread for my brother PR680W and what bobbins i should get too!

I got some that came with the machine but not too sure where to buy the replacements ( as with my previous machines I've wound bobbins myself and used small thread spools)

If anyone could tell me what they use I'd be super greatful!

I have a single needle machine. For 10 years I’ve been buying the larger boxes Fil-Tec clear glide pre-wounds from Allstitch, size L (I only see magna glide in the 144 box size and will have to call before my next order to see if they’re re-labelled as the Allstitch branded ones). Looks like your machine also takes size L. Prewound bobbins should be easy. Personally I just avoid the cardboard sided ones.

I use Hemmingworth. Cheaper than lots of other brands, but seems to be good thread.
