Is this something that's particular to a long arm machine?
I've been wanting a longarm for a while now, but I always find something I don't like about them.
If long arm machines are this persnickety about thread, maybe I'd better stay with my old Singer.
It's hard work to haul a king size quilt through a domestic machine, but if I want to use perle cotton in the bobbin and size 100 silk in the top, I can do it. :) All my machines know that they'd dern well better sew what I give them to sew or they're out the door. :lol:
