I shall head over there and begin reading. I know the needles I got with the machine Janome Magnolia was Organ Brand...and I totally guessed about thread. lol.. Imma off to a new site. Thanks a million
... I really am not into needing shiny newness and fancy little bells and whistles because - I'm just starting out. I'm lucky I can get a straight line to begin and then start to get a gentle curve happening when I want one. I'm looking for stability and no hassle with tension. So far, knock on wood. My little machine sings... I'm scared to mess with it.... lol . eepps... lol.. off I go and see what I can learn. ( I don't know the benefits of Poly from cotton so I'll read more too). Thank you Ckcowl.
