I tried the 24x1 needle in the Damascus and it makes bird nests? Pat, do you know?
Hi Nancy,
I would have guessed 24x1 too, but would have to check. Re bird nests, these little beasts are tricky to get to sew properly, and it may well be something else that is causing them. Personally, I would just take it to Cathy! She is really good at getting ornery little machines to sew.
