I am so lucky that my Kenmore/Janome has peon tastes. As long as I talk nice to her, she accepts any old thread and does a beautiful stitch and she doesn't care what bobbin thread I throw at her either. Mostly her diet consists of C and C, Connecting Threads, and an occasional Sulky or Gutterman. She even accepts Signature and, if desperate for a color, Serger thread with cotton in the bobbin. Does this nullify my board membership? Oh, no, I should never have confessed.
PS, this is the truth, but all in jest.
