I have taken to running it at half speed when I FMQ and that works ok but I really would like to do the FMQ at a faster speed.. it gets my quilts done faster... I am only doing stippling so nothing fancy and all these quilts go to the hospital, so I would like to quilt then as fast as I can.

One of the reasons I bought this machine is that it said it sewed 1,050 SPM and it had a larger throat size..I do like this machine and have made 10 baby quilts so far and quilted all them on this machine.. It does quilt nice but I did have some trouble with which thread that I could use..The machine does not like the cheaper thread like coats and clark, to quilt, it will use it to piece a top but not quilt it. I have been using Guterman to do the quilting and that seems ok.
I need to go back to the dealer and ask him about this speed thing, maybe next week I can do a road trip.. anyway I would love to hear if anyone else has this problem of your machine vibrating at high speed and if you have to use better tread to quilt with.. Thanks
