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

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.

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.

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].
