Is there a better needle to use for these things? Just bought a Janome 8050, and thread kept breaking on the decorative stitching on my quilt. I brought the tension all the way down to 2.5, and was still breaking. I was using thread from connecting threads, then I changed to Coats and Clark, still having too much breakage. Was using the needle that came with the machine...think they are called piano needles #14
