My bobbin does not like Aurifil, works well on top though.

Does anyone know how Dual Duty compares, linty wise, to Connecting Threads 100% cotton or 100% polyester thread? |
The girls at the studio use Connecting threads on their FW's with no problems.

I am a strict thread snob when it comes to my new machines. But, that's the beauty of vintage machines- you can use anything. There are the possible negative associated with linty threads messing up electronics. Use what you have.
|
I prefer the Aurifil, less linty, but I have used others without a problem.
|
The only thread I've had trouble with in my FW is Masterpiece. I don't like poly threads for piecing quilts...it melts when I press my block sections. The cotton threads I use in all of my machines is Essentials Cotton thread from Connecting Threads,Gutterman, Mettler and Auriful.
I use the large cones with a cone thread stand, lovely thread and priced right too. |
As long as you use the same thread in the bobbin as in the top you shouldn't have a problem.

Is the feed dog cover the silver plate under the needle? I'm afraid to remove that because it is hard to replace with the bobbin in proper position. I had a hard time installing that plate. I am in Hawaii and not many people know much obout FW machines. Email me so I can have some future contacts should I have a question at [email protected].
