Thanks everyone..oh that is such good advice..TBH I was so disapointed when my FMQ was so horrible. I am not having a problem with the Isacord or the Superior rainbow ( I forgot to mention that I bought a spool of that at the same time) for FMQ. Have restarted the machine, tried different sized needles like I said earlier. I spoke to my dealer today who thinks that some machines just dont like an individual thread. He thinks that if I am not having a problem with the Gutterman and the others then it is a thread and machine problem. I didnt realise the masterpiece was a piecing only thread-should have guessed from the name. How lame am I
I would like to experiment and try some other threads though because the colours are so beautiful when you start to move away from off white.
