You will need all different kinds of stabilizer depending on what you are working on. Read the stabilizer packages, they tell you what to use them for. You need embroidery thread. There are different manufacturers out there. Probably the most famous if Sulky or Gutterman.

Thank you Colleen! I finally got my machine and got me some thread today so I can get started! :)
Thanx again!

Read your instruction manual and practice page by painful page. If you read the instruction manual and looked at the charts provided, you will have many of your questions answered.

Yep now that I have got the machine I can do just that stitchntime! I don't retain it all though like some younger folks do since I am older but I will get it in time. Thank you Colleen! I had bought me some thread on Ebay but it hasn't got here yet so I found a sewing place where I can get it locally. My Aunt uses the same thread and it's called Art thread. There's about 1,100 yds to each spool. They have some gorgious colors to! I have been playing with the machine for the past couple of days and I have finally figured some of it out. There's not many folks with this machine. I haven't found but one person with one. I was hoping I bought one several folks has. I don't know if it's an older machine or a newer one. Mine was new in the box but don't know when this one was orignally made.
Anyway I am rambling on again! Thank you again!!!!
