I have a Janome MC 11000 .. what thread should I be using and can you use any kind of thread? Also, what bobbins should I use and the last question, what kind of needles should I be using for sewing/quilting? Thank you
I do not believe that the 11,000 Manual states specific wt of thread or bobbins. We all know that Janome machines run with the Janome bobbins which are class 15.
The wt of the thread determines the size of needle. The heavier the thread the larger the needle. When in doubt use a 14 or for heavier thread use a 16 or 100.
Also certain fabrics determine the needle that you use.
Superior threads and Allbrands also have a needle chart. You can go to Schmetz.com and they also have a wonderful needle chart.
Just to keep in mind Janome needles are made by Organ. There are numerous website out there that you can purchase the Organ needles at a good price, Allbrands is one of them and also Sew Vac Direct.
The Blue Tip that have the Janome brand are 75 and the Red Tip are 14.
Thank you Mom .. looked over my whole manual and couldnt' find a darn thing about needle size or thread .. and when I looked at the needle in the machine.. even with a magnifying glass i couldn't tell what size it was !! .. LOL ..Thanks, Marcia
