Here's the prize:
It ends July 6th at 5pm (not sure of time zone).
While I have you here, what kind of thread do you use for Free Motion Quilting???? I changed threads the other day and I am having tiny loopy issues on the back. If I change back to the old thread, it's fine. The thread works for piecing, but not FMQ.... just wondering about the weight, brand, etc. FYI: the weights are the same and I use matching thread in the bobbin. One is Gutermann, the other is Isachord (not saying which is the one that does not work). Both are polyester.
Until next time,
Mike.

I use Auriful Mako 50 weight for free motion. I also use Bottom Line in the bobbin which is 60 weight when not using the Mako in the bobbin. I always check the back periodically to make sure I don't get any weird looping issues. Sometimes, I just have to re-thread the machine and take out my bobbin and put it back in. Hope that helps.
Hi...I used to use Gutermann 50/3 thread, however have recently switched to Aurifil Mako 50/2 in both top and bobbin. Found this to be much better as less build up and the thread is beautiful. Also use Rasant, a Polyester thread which I believe is similar to Isachord. Also good but less shine.
