Hi Judy, What size needle would you suggest? I was using a 75/11 BP. Only other size I have is 80/12 (which came with my machine). To baste around the design, would I start with a walk stitch in the shape of a box and then sew the design inside it? That's worth a try. I've never used sticky spray and was told in training that it's evil & will gunk up my machine! Have a can that I've never touched, and am frankly afraid to use it. I did try adjusting MT, but got the best results with autoactifeed.
