I don't know... I DO have a special stitch on my Janome (Memory Craft 4800 Quilters Edition) where you use monofilament on the top and thread in the bobbin and it looks like it skips a stitch and looks JUST LIKE hand quilting.
I never use it. lol See, I'm afraid of the long lasting effects of monofilament thread. Will it last over time. Also, it takes a LLLLOOOONNNNNNGGGG time for the stitching. Creeps along.
That's all I know about what you are asking.

(Now, lucky for me, I like my machine and still use it dailly .It's my ONLY machine. So, for me it worked out. IT's a Janome 4800 Quilters Edition.) Mine, it's very slow to do this stitch. It has to go forward, then backwards, it is almost double the work in sewing the stitch. Also, I'm not a fan of monofilament , not knowing over time what it will do. 20+ years down the road, will it begin to break apart,etc?
