New machine teething problems
I’ve just bought the Janome Atelier 5 (skyline in USA I think). So far I love it but....
It came with 2 FMQ feet - a standard hopping one (which is what I am used to) or a floating one with interchangeable ends (so I can have open, closed or a clear plastic disc one with markings).
I have been using the hopping one with no issues at all. However the floating one which I was really looking forward to - nothing but problems! It either bird nests at the bottom like crazy (loose underneath with huge loops) or the upper thread keeps shredding and snapping every few inches. I am using bottom line 60wt thread.
I am guessing it will be to do with the top thread tension but can’t work out why the foot would make a difference or what I need to do to remedy it. Ideas anyone?
