I have recently been told my janome only wants this type of thread.;( it is expensive . I have a janome magnolia..that recently was having a lot of issues and we changed the thread to this one the dealer said to use and it loves me again. Those of you who have this machine what kind of thread do you like and if you use this thread.. where do you get it for less that 10.99 a 1300 yard spool?
