Has anyone tested the Janome 1600P (straigth stitch semi-industrial) with heavy topstitching thread or upholstery thread ? How does it look like ? Thanks ! ------ Meet me at rosemiracles.wordpress.com

So you put topstitching thread both in the needle AND in the bobbin ? Wow, my machine barely tolerates sligthly heavy thread on one of them :) ------ Meet me at rosemiracles.wordpress.com

Date: 2/8/13 4:30 PM If you do use the heavy thread, it helps to get an extra bobbin case (if your dealer charges a lot for them, they aren't expensive from a sewing supply place online ). That way you can adjust the tension settings on the case for heavy thread, and you will have a very nice stitch. Your other case can be for regular sewing thread.
