Help! What needle to use!
I just bought a Juki 2010q, which so far has been awesome for piecing. However; I bought it to fmq. I started quilting, things were going good and then I started having tension issues. Rethreaded, changed needles, changed bobbin, cleaned. Still issues. It occurred to me that maybe the needles that came with the machine are too small for my 30wt variegated thread, I would love to buy more needles that are 16/100 but I can't figure out which brand. My machine came with Organ needles and the manual states I need HA x1 or HA x 5 needles. I see needles everywhere that have the H but not the HA x1. Does any one know if I can use schmetz needles in this machine? I have no access to Organ needles at any shops here and I really need to get this done. Any input would be so appreciated! Thank you. I have spent over two hours researching on the internet and just have not come up with any info.
