Thank goodness I did, because it confirms the blue dot bobbin case will work on my sewing machine. Except now I am distracted and want to learn how you did that gorgeous bobbin stitching! <br />I have an old Kenmore that I have been using Janome parts and accessories on with great success. Thanks for the top about these bobbin cases. You're the best.lorrwillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12671379391189827831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-14853963418754418322013-03-29T10:27:16.386-05:002013-03-29T10:27:16.386-05:00(Coming to you from Katie's Sew Bike Quilt blo...(Coming to you from Katie's Sew Bike Quilt blog.) Thanks for the tip on the FMQ bobbin case--did not know about that and so need to get one. I'm currently quilting with a rayon top thread and had to adjust the tension down as you stated to keep the bobbin thread from popping up when stitching backwards. Never had that problem with cotton thread.<br /><br />Added to my shopping list when the machine goes in for servicing!Vivianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845920248231910491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-28483155942355480212012-03-26T12:11:01.193-05:002012-03-26T12:11:01.193-05:00Monika,

Just called my local sewing machine store and they've got one! YAY! <br />Oh, and just love your blog!Elsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410432918093105452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-43878410061551045152012-03-26T08:55:00.845-05:002012-03-26T08:55:00.845-05:00Oh I am so happy I was a follower of your blog and...Oh I am so happy I was a follower of your blog and stopped to read your post today! I also have a Janome MemoryCraft 3000 and have not used any of the features before and recently I got the bug to explore art in textiles! FMQ is all new to me and I have zero idea how to go about it except what I have seen on shows like "Sewing With Nancy"! I am looking forward to learning more here on your blog and putting my little sewing machine through some new paces. Thanks so much for the info!<br />Tina xoMarguerite (Tina) Smith Harthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06654002122173967940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634894880688964861.post-13187323845141629112012-03-26T08:52:51.383-05:002012-03-26T08:52:51.383-05:00You did an awesome presentation on Sat.

Love it!<br />I have never tried the needles you referred to though, so I will be looking for some of those my next shopping trip.<br />Not sure what you mean about engaging the needle plate for FMQ...do you mean dropping the feed dogs?<br />Great post today and congratulations on all your success lately! Wish you the best of success at Quilt Canada. I am hoping to get there this summer seeing that it is only a 4.5 hour drive away.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08737096028649290538noreply@blogger.com
