Today I tested ten different thread combinations -
Different top threads -
But the same bobbin thread weight/type -
And f found a few that Gracie didn't like-
And some that she did -
I tested two of the Grace sample threads -
And Gracie liked them both -
Surprise - surprise - LOL -
A GREEN solid -
She also liked this YELLOW combination -
For my own records -
I tested each thread combination - four different ways -
- Regulated Cruise - 10 stitches per inch
- Regulated Cruise - 14 stitches per inch
- Regulated Precise - 10 stitches per inch
- Regulated Precise - 14 stitches per inch
I haven't thoroughly analyzed all of the results yet -
But I did notice that she didn't particularly like the "Regulated Precise" mode -
Nor did she like the 14 stitches per inch -
So tomorrow I'll narrow it down to the "Regulated Cruise" mode -
And 10 stitches per inch -
Then re-test the same combinations -
Plus a few more just for fun -
I think she likes 50 wt. polyester best -
So - if all I have to do to make her happy -
Is change the "mode" and lengthen the stitch -
And find her favorite thread type and weight -
I think I can do that - ;))
Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -

Hmmm.... I didn't realize that you are using a "regulated" stitch length. I tried a domestic machine with a stitch regulator once and I hated it. Of course that was years ago. Maybe I need to try one again to be fair.
You are certainly thorough and tenacious. Hopefully, you will get results that work for you and you can just quilt.
I know my old sewing machine doesn't like the "cheap" thread I was using. I now have to only use the Guterman thread. It makes it go though. :) Kara
