Invisafil thread problem
Using it for the first time, for machine applique using free-motion straight-stitch. I have a Janome 3160 QDC. Nice thread! It is 100WT poly thread.
I think top thread is jamming as it passes through the tension dial location, because it pulls along great for a while and then chunk-clunk-snap unless I can stop it in time to avoid a needle break.
I have lowered the tension gradually right to zero and it still does this.
I have tried putting the dogs up and doing a straight stitch and it is marginally better.
Is it possible the thread is just too fine for the machine?
I have tried Invisafil in the bobbin, tried Bottom Line, and the bottom tension is fine - it is the top thread.
Machine runs along fine with SoFine 60WT, C&C 60 WT and the rest of the 50-60WT threads.
Appreciate it if you have any ideas!
