[quote=janell2009] She was quick to ask why I would want that machine ,what would I gain, she said I would just end up with lots of tension problems... Hummm must be something with that machine because she said that to me right away. I have the Janome that I do the piecing on and love the machine. I have a Juki that I do the FMQ on and it was doing the loopy stuff to me, but seemed like it was a direction problem because it would not do it all the time while going down the run. I too put the feed dogs up and use the sil pad over the feet and that seemed to fix the loopy's. but it was a Juki not the janome.
So in conclusion I think it must be the machine..[quote]
Fascinating. But at least you have an honest dealer - mine swore blind that the tension problems must be me, not the machine! It's really heartening to have my impressions confirmed.
