Threads for my HQ Avante
hi everyone...this subject may have already been covered but ive searched and searched the site and found random references without an actual thread with the answers im looking for...sorry...
im in australia and have just purchased an Avante...dealers are few and far between and dont seem to be terribly knowledgable so ive spent my fair share of trolling the net in search of answers...lets just say the instructions and video that comes with the machine leave alot to be desired, we're working it out slowly...
the question i havent ben able to get an answer about it thread...when the machine was demonstrated to me the thread being used was on a cone, im pretty sure it was superior brand..at that time they sold it on cones and also on prewound bobbins..of course now that i have my nachine set up they have decided not to stock it anymore as they sell so few machines..so the search was on and i soon discovered no one sells te cones unless you buy them online..the postage makes the final price ridiculous..
one lady i metshop told me she uses the large spools of Rasant on the cone pin, she doesnt have the front top spool pin either (why wasnt that included with the machine??)..but im wondering if this would affect the tension as arent spool holders for spools??
