If you take your machine in, take a sample of what you are trying to quilt and a sample of regular 2 pieces that you would be piecing and make them fix it to that standard. I just can't imagine anything with Bernina name on it not being top notch for stitching. The Janome is a good stitching machine also and the Brother. Both of them do lovely Embroidery, but the Bernina does the best stitching especially your Mothers model.
Good Luck,

I have a question about using spray starch on the top, if I want to use a quilting pencil or quilting marker, would I be correct to spray the quilt with starch first then use the marker or pencil, or would the pencil or marker be easily removed if sprayed with starch before or after? I have never thought of using spray starch a great idea. I really have a problem with this quilting forum, I love it but I seem to spend so much time reading all of the great stories, idas and hints that I can't seem to find time in the evenings I need to for my quilting, sorry just joking I love this site and I am so glad I stumbled onto it. Everyone is so helpful and gives such great ideas of their trials and troubles that help all of us with problems. Thanks for everyone sharing your ideas. Gerbie

The cute O's are teflon circles that look like notebook reinforcers. They are offered by Nancy's Notions and Clothilde[I think] and are called Magic Bobbin Washers by Little Genie. I had the spiderweb effect problem on the back of the machine quilting even after adjusting the tension. It seemed that as long as I quilted in straight lines and slowly there was no problem but when I tried to do circular patterns with any speed the problem was awful. I asked the local LQS Husqvarna [viking] to do a sample and she had the same problem. I keep one in the bobbin case all the time now.
