Margo OFFLINE Posts: 6522 Thank you received: 129	Ritzy, I don't know what kind of troubleshooting you've done, but this is what Dr. Bob says about sewing with metallic threads: http://www.superiorthreads.com/shop/category/metallic-thread/description/

Using the single needle throat plate lessens the sideways drag on the thread around the bobbin case that you get when you use the zig-zag throat plate when doing any kind of free motion stitching, whether it's thread sketching or free motion quilting.

Thanks Margo, this might be the reason I have problems using metallic thread with the BSR. It want to caught and break on something under the plate and then I have to use tweezers to get it out. I don't want to wreck the machine since it belongs to Kathy but I would really like to be able to use metallics when using the BSR. I will have to see if she has a single hole plate, if not I will have to buy one and try it.

Lorna1021 OFFLINE Posts: 952 Thank you received: 105	Thanks, Margo. The 9 or the 24 make sense. I am pretty sure they are using the 830 that was set up there, plus with the back view I can see the plug in for the BSR and the dual feed hanging there. Just from that angle I wasn't sure about the foot. I think I bought the #9 just before moving. So when I get all my stuff I will have to try it out. Fun show! Lorna

Lorna, I just re-watched that part of the segment, and the foot is not mentioned. It looks to me like it's probably a free-motion foot, but she's not using a Bernina, so I'm not sure what she used.
When I do free motion sketching, I use Bernina's darning foot (#9) or the freehand embroidery foot (#24): http://www.berninausa.com/product_search-n25-sUS.html
I also use a single needle throat plate: http://www.berninausa.com/product_detail-n26-i84-sUS.html
and drop the feed dogs while I'm stitching.
