I'm with you, true4uca. I have never had a problem with needles or thread in any on my machines (and I have a quite a few) if they are threaded correctly and the needles inserted properly. I have two Pfaffs, an Elna, 9 or 10 featherweights, a Genie, three 301's and I use any thread on any of them.

inexpensive does not automatically mean "cheap".
my machines will sew with just about any brand of needle. the automatic threaders, on the other hand, do not work with at least one particular brand. the wire doesn't line up properly with the needle eye.
