Does anyone know what kind of thread I can use other then what they give. I wanted to use red thread. Also kind size/kind of needle is it to use ?

I think you could probably use red emboidery thread for it...and a big, heavy duty needle. Go to a craft store and look at their selection. I'm sure you will find something you like. Good luck! :)

Thread I got with mine was tan in color, i ordered an extra spool and it was black. Needle was average size no idea what size that is but it works good on heavy canvas.

Dear Elsa, the Juki MO-735 5 thread serger uses standard regular household needles. We recommend the brand Schmetz as most dependable and it is best to always use sizes #11/75 or #14/90. Thread to be used with sergers come on cones, usually in 3000 yard and 6000 yard putups. We have had very good luck using serger thread brands of MaxiLock and Venus. Thank you - shopjoya.com

Honestly I've never used one of these before in fact coming across it on Amazon is how I learned about it....so I figured I would buy the smallest size and go from there. Which would be my recommendation to anyone else new to them. I haven't used mine yet (I keep forgetting to pick up the correct alcohol to keep it clean in apparently regular rubbing alcohol will damage it) but the company was extremely wonderful by sending me info on use and care tips before I received mine and they have since sent me even more info which I appreciate so very much. But back to answering your question (sorry to get off track there) for a beginner I would say the smallest needle size and not a super costly one..

I honestly don't know which thread it is... I have spoken to several people who say it really doesn't matter which bobbin thread you use as long as its embroidery thread and the bobbin is the correct one for your machine. I have now used at least 60 of these bobbins with NO trouble at all. I have also used the empty to wind my own thread so that the back color matches when stitching lace, with NO problem! Hope this helps!!

I have used the thread in my bobbin. It works great. It's thicker than some of the other thread (Aurifil) I use for quilting which I like. It really is just a matter of preference. I like the colors within the box. Hope this helps.

I'd bring it to a hardware store and find something that will fit the threads. They're a strange size though, so good luck.

I was asked if I could answer this for you, although I use this Fireline bead thread and I must say in the years I have been using it not once has anything come apart that I have made with it. I can say I use the crystal 4ib/size B and it is really strong. On Amazon you can get a better deal and more of this for your money. I would probably go higher then the one I use which is 0.006" for your loom work. Give it a go, I would think it will do what you want it for. But I have not tried loom work before, so I can only say try it once it may be just what your looking for. Hope this helps a little, Liz.

the picture attached shows the actual awl. you can use it like you mentioned, but you may need to get a smaller gauged needle, otherwise the puncture hole may be too big. if you are using just the heavy duty needles, you could do that, but know that the eyes of the needles may not accommodate the girth of the thread. hope that helps.....

Yes you can use regular thread. And you can bring this machine to any sewing store which service sewing machine.

Try your local art's and crafts store.(if small is what you want) I also used a 31gauge insulin syringe. And load it yourself ( be careful )

It depends on what you are sewing. I'm using just regular heavy duty thread and it works great. It takes a while to get the hang of the machine but it works great. If you have a real heavy duty application, you're going to need a real heavy duty thread. The thread that came with it was 1/16" or thereabouts. It's much heavier than you need for most applications.

I typically use a Milliner needle when I needle turn applique and I don't have any issues with this size needle eye. I hope this helps!

Hello, I have used the thread on my Vicking. These are NOT high quality. Some of the colors break easy or split while embroidering. Not all of them, but enough to be annoying. To use I have to set the speed of the machine to the lowest speed and keep a close eye on it.

My suggestion is to get a ruler and draw 1/4" line on the side you are wanting to sew. Then sew on the line - it will show you where your needle should be positioned. My Brother has to be on #1 for this foot to work. I also found I like to use 3.0 stitch when using this foot. It just seems to work best for me on this length. I hope this was helpful.

Adjust your thread tension to 4,6,&7, drop the knife set the red slide adjustment near the needles to R, set stitch width to R
