Oops! Intended to post this on the "Stickblenders?" thread!

I'm sure I have a book, if the book in the previous post isn't the right one, I'll dig into mine and see what I have....I no longer do plastic canvas and would be more than happy to send it to you..Just let me know, Dorothy

About 2 months ago I bought a florescent bulb for my nightstand lamp. I thought I'd "try" it to see how I'd like florescent. Don't care for it. Now, it might be the type bulb I bought. I've been using the GE Reveal (bluish in color) for years and much prefer those over the soft white bulbs. The florescent bulb I bought says "cool natural light"...daylight 6500K. Not at all appealing in a bedroom setting, nor would I want my kitchen "washed" in this lighting. Even tho the 26 watt florescent says it equals 100 watts incandecent, I don't think it's anywhere near as bright. SO, what color florescent would give a warmer tone? I priced the cans with Specular and white baffles. They were nearly 2x as expensive with the Specular and at this point, with a busted budget, I went with the white baffles. Monica

That's expensive! You've verified your bobbin and top stitch are equal? Does it do this no matter what thread you use? Can you return the machine? Ya never know, it could be a lemon. Don't blame yourself btw, it could just be a factory error in manufacturing. Women always blame themselves lol. If you buy a new machine don't forget to oil it before you first use it. They say "it's oiled" 99% of the time they haven't and it can lead to problems. It's that little hole you see when you drop a bobbin in. Oh, do you have the right thread bobbin? They all look alike but there are different "model" types for bobbins. It'll be a litter like S or C and verify you've got what the mfgr says you need. Wouldn't it be nice if that was the problem? Keep me posted :D
