My husband, a retired commercial fisherman, tells me that rope and thread is twisted as it is made So, when working with it, one should go with the twist. After watching me struggle with numerous knots in my thread when hand piecing or quilting, he suggested that I thread the freshly cut end of thread through the eye of the needle and knot the other end. I have done as he suggested and have had fewer knotting problems.

It is so informative! I had no idea about how intricate thread was. The information is so valuable. I love to understand things. Thanks for putting that into the discussion.

I learn something new every time I get on the forum, which is multiple times a day, by the way. What a wonderful group of people. I don't post a whole lot, but like I said, I'm here every day. I love your new sewing machine and would feel blessed to have one like it. Pay no attention to negative remarks. I love sewing machines and have a collection of vintage machines along with a new Brother 6000, which sews really well for an inexpensive machine, and a Singer 2010 Touch Tronic, which also sews really well. Yesterday, I bought a Singer 101, manufactured in 1926, which is a straight stitch only, but it is unbelievable how well it sews. I know you'll enjoy your new machine.

so excited for you that you got a new machine and it does not matter what brand it is. We all have our special brands we love & dislike, but they pretty much all do sew right? Enjoy your new baby and don't let her get to you.
Whoever you are that trashed the brand that Bostons bought should be ashamed of yourself---your either are very jealous or a very unhappy person who feels the need to hurt others---and you are here why?
