Dealer today said bring her back Sunday and they will clean the machine and check it. No repair person on site today. Until then she gave me a spool of Mettler thread and some quilting needles by Schmetz. Thanks for all your advice. I did take notice of 547 yds. per spool vs 325 for C&C so pricing is not that different for a better product.
My Janome prefers Schmetz too. :-D
