Well - I made it through my first "round" -
Of redoing
the quilting on my Imperial Bargello -
And took it off the frame -
I
can experiment with other thread combos -
I had a brand new cone of Grace - Finesse - thread in the top -
50 wt - 3 ply - polyester -
And it kept breaking just like my "old" Maxilock -
50 wt - 3 ply - polyester -
It "should"
work -
It's the recommended brand/type and "brand new" -
So maybe it's the bobbin thread -
Right now it's a bobbin filled with "brand new" black Maxilock -
Maybe
it needs to be a lighter weight -
I have a couple of Decobob bobbins -
80 wt - that came with the sample pack -
I can play with the cream/beige
one - and if it "plays nicely" -
I can use the black one to finish off
the rest of the redo -
It's the only black lightweight that I have -
So I
hope it works - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
Good luck with it. I am sure this is frustrating.
ReplyDeleteExuberant Color has a quilting machine and she just finished (posted) yesterday her latest finish and she said "top thread is Superior So Fine 50 weight and bobbin thread is Superior Bottom Line."
ReplyDeleteI will warn you, Superior thread is really good, but it is super expensive. They are based in St. George, Utah. I almost worked for them when I lived down there, but their application/interview process was strange, it is their company and they can do things how they want. :) Kara
