I'm new to longarming. I have a Tin Lizzie sit down. I've been using Maxilock serger thread to practice. It likes it in the top, but not in the bobbin. It just breaks in the bobbin. I just quilted 3 quilts this past weekend using regular Connecting Threads thread. I'm having tension issues but that's another story unto itself. Two quilts worked up nicely, one did not.
I would like to try the Glide thread. I'm bummed that they have a $35 minimum. That's a lot of thread to be stuck with if your machine doesn't like it... I'll call the company to see if it is sold in stores so I can try out one spool of it before committing to a bunch of it.
I'm tempted to try the Bobbin Genies. I'm not sure if that will help with my bobbin tension or not... at this point, something has to give!
