I just bought a Janome 1600 P-QC to put on my Little Gracie II frame. As I'm going through the manual I get to "Threading the Needle Thread" and it says "Use Only Left Twist Thread". WHAT? I'm lucky I can even SEE the thread let alone what direction it twists! Is this something special or is it normal? Help!
Thanks!
Thanks!

HMMM, After some google reading it seems as if MOST thread that is machine sewing is left twist thread.
Maybe this would help.

I have a Brother 1500 that I love. I can't tell you how how much it hurt to have someone "trash" my machine before I even had a chance to use it. But I tell you, it's been the best machine ever. And it's with that story that I learned not to ick someone else's woo.
Did your friend ever take it back to the dealership where she got it from to find out what could be wrong with it? I hope it's all better now.

The Janome is a great machine. I bought the Brother 1500 and love it!! The only reason I didn't buy the Janome is because it was a little more but they are very comparable. I'm sure you'll love your machine as much as I love mine :)
