Merry Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 I posted earlier today whining about not being able to use the pretty varigated rayon thread. Hahahhaaa I can use it now! I finished a customer quilt today and decided to put on my practice piece and just sit and fiddle with the rayon thread. It broke repeatedly so I started changing things around. Finally found the solution by using cotton thread in the bobbin, bypassing several of the tension places including the one right after the tension spring, yep, go around the spring and right up to the eye that goes up and down. It is sewing like a dream. I am so happy, I can use all that thread I purchased at Sisters this year:-) When all else fails just start putzing with things........... Now if I can just find a newer model machine to purchase. Mary in CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giftedhands Posted September 13, 2004 Report Share Posted September 13, 2004 Wow, I didn't think it would be possible either. I have lots of 1000 meter cones, but that will run out fast. The 5000 are too badly priced if you're buying wholesale. I may check back with you when I try this on my machine! Cynthia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
