I just spent about 25 hours FMQ on my latest project using the Horizon and it worked like a dream. I used Bottom line in the bobbin and all sorts of threads on top including a bit of King Tut. I just used the regular bobbin case at its regular tension. I'm glad the Horizon comes with the darning foot. I remember that the ease of it FMQing was a big draw for me. I haven't tried the other two that it came with - 'cause I love the no bounce of this one.

Truth be ...Judy....glad you found the yahoo group. Truth be told, I have both bobbin cases, and I never bother to switch! I did fine with the red-arrow one, then put in the blue-arrow and it has now taken up permanent residence. I just fiddle ith the needle-thread-tension and it works...... <BR/><BR/>As for removing the throat plate (yep, it's a pain), it's good to do so every so often. Using poly threads you'll have noticed you get a TON less lint, but you still need to every so often (after a huge quilt...like one of YOUR huge quilts) or a number of smaller ones, remove the bobbin case and dust out the lint. Do NOT remove the little gray thing that *looks* like lint. This is the wick. Not brilliant planning to have it be gray. Anyway, a drop of sewing machine oil every few months is a good thing. You can also oil the wick *through* the bobbin case....<BR/><BR/>HTH! And glad you found a solution that works for you...and yeah, the NON-hopping foot is a dream!<BR/><BR/>Cheers, SarahSarah Ann Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917752257414120820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13907443.post-71699186289492552552008-08-25T17:42:00.000-05:002008-08-25T17:42:00.000-05:00I love my old pfaff too, I would hate to give it u...I love my old pfaff too, I would hate to give it up. Now my daughter has taken over my old Bernina, it has always been fussy with threads. It seems like they all have their strengths and weaknesses.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06858569382699600146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13907443.post-46345956941021156512008-08-25T17:32:00.000-05:002008-08-25T17:32:00.000-05:00I agree how frustrating it is with threads and the...I agree how frustrating it is with threads and then mucking around with the bobbins. I have a Pfaff which sometimes gets tetchy with different threads - BUT, my old Husqvarna doesn't really mind the different threads - top or bottom. Only thing is that I've been through 3 'darning' feet in the last 2 years with free motion quilting. The foot has a metal spring, like the Pfaff plastic one, which tends to lose it's springiness and break - OK I know that it's old now but I still love the machine.Erilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14115009882771705164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13907443.post-67974969322340154142008-08-25T16:22:00.000-05:002008-08-25T16:22:00.000-05:00wonderous...the back of the quilt is amazing...wonderous...the back of the quilt is amazing...susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441116514488993210noreply@blogger.com
