Thanks so much. I want to gather everything I'm going to need and clean and oil the machine. It will likely be a month or more until I get my machine set up...have to order the cords and FMQ foot. My DD is moving out of state at the end of June and is taking the futon from my sewing room, so I'll be moving everything around to get the 201 and 301 cabinets in. The existing 301 cord is cracked with exposed wires so I won't be using it until I get the new cord. I have a lot of Essential Thread from Connecting Threads so likely will be trying that out first. I've been reading Leah Day's project as well. I'll try Isacord if the Essential Thread doesn't work.
