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.
Exuberant 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."
I 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
