What kind of needles do you use in Janome1600p QC quilting machine
I have just bought a Janome 1600p Qc machine on a Little Gracie Frame, I was told that they use Organ HLx5 needles, are there any other needles compatible with this Machine, also i am using Superior #50 so fine thread. I am having lots of trouble getting my tension right, ( Long stitches and then short ones) I have broke 3 needles in about 1 week. I know all this is probably Operator errors . I am getting very frustrated with all these problems .I am trying to do a panograph. I used to own a longarm quilting machine and never had any problems with panto's, I cannot get this machine to do right. any sugestions would be greatly appreciated. The size #16 needle seemed to work best but only one in pkg. Maybe there is a better needle to use.
