LOL Bu...Hi Jaimie - that was an unexpected comment. LOL But a great question.<br /><br />Love my Horizon BUT - if you like to FMQ with Bottom Line thread or equally fine threads on the top - it doesn't work well at all. In fact, it doesn't. The thread frays and snaps after just a few stitches. I can't do any free motion with Bottom Line, which really disappointed me. And I know it's the machine because I've tried every needle, every tension, rethreading, you name it, I've tried it - as has a couple of other people. A couple of times, we thought we had the machine beat and it sewed beautifully for a few minutes - and then SNAP. The odd thing is that I can sew straight stitch with the BL thread no problem at all. It's only with FMQ. Yet I can FMQ beautifully with Gutterman or Isocord (sp?).<br /><br />It's also very finicky about matching bobbin and top threads - a problem I never had with my Husqvarna Tribute.<br /><br />That being said, I'm not sorry I bought it. Everything else about it is great. to me, it was worth the investment. But I still wish it wasn't so finicky with the thread.Marijke Vroomen-Durninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436563110710429784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659197563728114440.post-87656902533751419942014-12-22T09:46:23.149-05:002014-12-22T09:46:23.149-05:00I saw a comment on Leah Day's site that you go...I saw a comment on Leah Day's site that you got a new Janome Horizon and I was wondering how you like it?✾Jamie Lee Cooley✾https://www.blogger.com/profile/07208832897656210176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659197563728114440.post-29704724399938934502014-12-21T10:45:11.523-05:002014-12-21T10:45:11.523-05:00Good question Jenny.

Given the smaller population, what's the theory as to why the numbers are so similar to the US? (which uses a lot of prescription drugs)<br /><br />I'd also like to hear more about how prescription drug expenses are covered in the US vs. Canada.Jennifer Finkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10568576650343979230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659197563728114440.post-72622336229333251292014-12-21T10:28:47.564-05:002014-12-21T10:28:47.564-05:00Absolutely!Absolutely!Marijke Vroomen-Durninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14436563110710429784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-659197563728114440.post-25054578811517462062014-12-21T10:25:46.001-05:002014-12-21T10:25:46.001-05:00Also, it's best to fill all of your prescripti...Also, it's best to fill all of your prescriptions at the same pharmacy so the pharmacist knows everything you're one (it's so easy to stop at a pharmacy at a walk-in centre instead of going to your regular pharmacy, but it can create problems when you don't have one pharmacy/pharmacist seeing what you take).Traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09486706569491702675noreply@blogger.com
