Thanks so much for all the input and suggestions. I've been on the phone with the dealer, and he wants to see for himself. He's pretty stumped, too. He says that I've tried most of what he would have suggested. He's 40 miles away, so I'll have to plan a Saturday to get it up there. In the meantime, I've got other suggestions from the wonderful quilters on this board. This is such a great group! Thanks, again.

[Have you considered invisfil?
http://www.softexpressions.com/softw...ads/WNInvF.php
It is not a clear monofiliment but it is so fine, it is like silk and sinks right into the fabric)
Thanks Feline Fanatic - I am always looking for new ways and products to help me out and I think this will be one of them. I went out and looked and am going to try the invisfil.

I use what Harriet Hargrove ( might be Hargrave) sells on her web site. she has been machine quilting for years, and using invisible thread, back then she was really raked over the coals for it. Thank goodness she did'nt listen, her quilting is exceptional!! I have never had a problem using what she sells. You can buy the smoke color for darker fabrics from her also.

New member. Appreciate all previous blog on sewing w invisable thread. Ready to throw my machine out the
window, but suspect problems would just continue on another one. Determined to solve my problems! You all
have given me a few things to try, but seeking more input on how to WIND it on my bobbin. I suspect it is
relative. Also, when things go south & I immediately get spaghetti on the underside everytime I go check
everything when I restart, I note the bobbin case is jumping & rattling around. I'm going to try a tighter
tension on the bobbin case, but noted a number of "loosen opper tension" remarks. Help, I'm ready to scream!
Thank you, new friends! Couldn't re-find the blogger who asked "Why invisable thread?" OMG, I love it to
death... when it's behaving! Have a great one... Norma
