What Thread do you piece with in your Featherweight Machine
#1
Can you tell me what thread line/company you are you using to piece with on your featherweights?
I've tried Aurifil, Mettler and Gutterman threads and none of those are working for me. And I just can't seem to get a good straight stitch or satisfactory tension with them. I was told by another person that they are just too fine a thread to use with the featherweights. So now what? Does the ply/weight of the thread make the difference or what? I'm so exasperated here (trust me you'll see a woman with long hair pulling it all out later on TV if I can't get this fixed or pounding the machine with a hammer - it's touch and go either way right now)! :lol:
So everyone please tell me what you are using in your FW machines to get your straight stitches and balanced tension! I'm up for any and all information. Thanks for any input.
