Using 30 weight thread for free motion in a DSM?
I have a Pfaff Performance 5 and I want to FMQ with 30w thread so that the quilting design will be very pronounced. Have any of you done this? If so what size needle did you use and what tension setting worked for you. My machine will do it with a top stitch 14 needle and tension set at .6 and it looks pretty good, but my machine makes sort of a clacking sound instead of a smooth one.
