Aurifil is great and you get alot on one spool of thread. I use the 40 weight for piecing and 28 for quilting. www.thatthreadplace.com

I find Janome machines thread snobs. Try Aurafill both in the bobbin and top thread of your machine. I also use a 14 top stitch needle. Good luck!

Some machines are persnickety whith certain brands. Try the different types and see what your machine likes. (You already know what she doesn't). I use Connecting Thread thread, Star thread (from C&C) and assorted fancy threads. So far - no problems.

The machine wont stitch consistantly. sometimes wont catch at all. Cotton Machine Quilting thread is better. I am stressed.

[ Like the reference to Janome being a thread snob! Oh, yes she is but I wouldn't swap her all the same!
:mrgreen:[/quote] They may be thread snobs,but, I wouldn't trade either in. However, I do have problems getting Aurafil...haven't found a Quilt Shop that carries it since I closed mine about 3 years ago. |
I have a Janome Platinum 760 and a Pfaff Creative Vision. They both work just fine with any kind of thread I put in them. I do clean out the bobbin case after each bobbin. I don't have any more lint with C & C than I do with Aurifil. So far, the best is Connecting Threads. I use it most of the time, unless I need a particular color that they don't have.
