I just got mine a couple of weeks ago. It is so much fun. When I got mine they told me to use Sew Fine thead in the bobbin and King Tut on top and not to use polyester batting. I really thought it was because that's what the dealer sold, can't find it anywhere else and its really expensive. Did your dealer tell you that too?

I had tension problems and problems with the thread breaking.

Enjoy, I know you'll love it.

A wire on my encoder is messed up no big deal there. But the manual mode thing is gonna need some professional attention.

As far as thread, he said the superior/king tut is really good, but he uses anything pretty much.

i was having trouble to with thread breaking, than i started using Gutermann and have had good luck with it, i buy a spool of it when i get a coupon for 40 to 50 % off, realy helps on the price. i use it in the bobbin to. i find i will break thread when i quilt from right to left moves.
