Thanks to everyone for all the hints. Fingers crossed I'm FINALLY up and running :-) before my repair the machine liked KingTutt thread...but after all the work was done it no longer liked that. After many tries of different threads it turns out "she" love Superior thread. At this moment the stitching is Beautiful top and bottom! Couldn't be happier, loaded on a UFO and can't wait to get it all quilted.
Pictures to follow.
MsPintoBean...have you gotten your new machine and all the upgrades yet? Can't wait to hear how well the new computer part for stitching works out.
Happy Quilting to all
