I've tested all the thread I have here and superior brands "so fine" is the only thread i can use in my janome 6500 without getting caught up in the feed dogs. is my machine really fussy or is it me? I just started fmq last month on my little brother with no trouble other then the small throat. now i'm trying to use the nice machine and i'm getting caught up in the feed dogs.
the previous owner used "mettler" thread and that's getting caught for me too and he has no clue what i might be doing wrong. will i just get better with practice? I'm using a topstitch needle, the tension is at 1 and i think i'm doing everything right. I'm off to buy so fine thread today, but i'm scared they will stop making it or something then i can't quilt on my machine LOL
