If anyone out there uses this combination of machine and frame, I would be eternally gratefully for any assistance you can give.
Blessings on all my fellow quilters,

I am amazed at your willingness to help. I am using Superior Bottom Line 60 wt with a Organ HLx5 100/16 needle. I just bought some Schmetz Topstitch size 16, and am going to try those. I am going to loosen my sandwich as suggested by Prism and am going to raise the take up bar about 1/4 inch above the bed.
Thank you all for input. I was going to get rid of the frame and machine because I was so frutstrated, but I feel like I have a little hope now. I will will let you know how it works!
God bless,
