I believe the only place you can get Glide thread is online:
http://www.bobbincentral.com/quiltin...ead/glide.html

Call or email the company so you can get just one spool of Glide thread to try out; otherwise I think the minimum order would be $35. There are a few quilters whose machines don't like Glide, but it seems to be the thread that works without problems for quilting in almost all longarm and domestic machines.

Maybe take the needle in to your shop to see about getting replacement needles of the same type. Usually you want at least a size 14 in a frame setup, and often size 16 is even better.

You might want to start a separate thread about the Singer machine, as many Singer owners will not read this far into a thread about a frame quilting machine.
