Hi All
im another Aussie Avante owner. Love my machine. I've found the most success using Gutermann 100% cotton. I am a bit of a purist with the all cotton thing, but my machine seems to work well with that top and bobbin. Sourcing 3000 m cones is a whole other thing. Previously I've purchased from the US but with the AUD and freight I'm now looking within Australia. I understand Birch Habi are the wholesaler here. I'm investigating getting a wholesale account because the cost of 800 m spools retail is crazy.
