I've heard that Janome's can be thread snobs, but I have never had a problem with breakage or snagging when I use the thread stand. Practice on something other than your quilt, maybe a mug rug, to test it out. Good luck!
"Z - any mouse" - what kind of thread stand do you use? I think I would like to use one of them for my Janome 6600 with all the different size thread spools I use. I also read somewhere that the thread feeds off them more smoothly.
