Where do you get a size 18?
I do FMQ without the frame on a Kenmore. Thought it would be easier on a frame.

Prism is right, size 14 is way to lightweight to take the speed...I use 18 also. My juki loves them and I don't break needles as much as thread LOL I get them at my local BenFranklin store but you can probably get them online.
