You can't use tissue paper for stablizer (the manual suggests this) for applique and what about all those pretty threads to make the quilts look amazing.
Sending the machine off today and have to go pick it up when it is finished a 6 hour drive (includes both ways) I am a bit miffed as the manual which I've read many times does not give you this kind of information. Liddy Singer service woman, did promise a bunch of lessons for free. There were some other issues with this machine it's disease is thread lock. So besides, needles and thread, there is drama with machines.
Phew thanks for letting me sound off ladies

I have the same machine (had it just about a year) I must have gotten one of the good (male) machines, I hear the (female) ones are quite high maintaince..
Ha Ha just joking. I have to say that I have put this one thru all of NOT TO DO to a sewing machine that you can do. and it is still hummimg right along I have changed the needle a few times, After they get (bent or broke) that is.
blow out the bobbin and thread path with can air each empty bobbin change, like I said, must have gotten a good one.
