    Thread Injector recommendations

    A new JoAnn's is opening up tomorrow in town and I have a 50% off coupon for one item. Any recommendations on a thread injector that will do thick insulation, like Climashield 10.0?

    Right now I have an el-cheapo Brother, but it has served me well.

    Don't get your hopes up too much. Every coupon from that place I've ever had excluded sewing machines and machine accessories. Can't say that's always true read the fine print first.

    I just received a Brother BB370 as a present. So far i've managed to make an ugly stuff sack out of old materials.....but it has 33 different stitch patterns......more options then i can even understand. But so far i like it.
    When the wife asks, I simply say "Shug made me do it".

    Before I bought my juki I had good luck with used, refurbished machines from the sewing machine shop. Paid $75 for a Singer CG500 with a one year warranty. Took it in for a free, full tuneup right before the year was up. Still use it for sewing straps. I will say, for this kind of diy stuff, you need a straight stitch and reverse. You might use a zig zag occasionally but the rest of those stitch patterns are pretty useless in this realm.

    Just a heads up, today's amazon deal of the day just happens to be the Singer Sewing 4432 Heavy Duty Extra-High Speed Sewing Machine. Same one that I have. http://amzn.to/2dT9U1m

    This is the one I purchased about 2 years ago and it has worked well for anything I or my family has thrown at it. I can't really speak to all the diy stuff on here as I have only done petty stuff so far. But I bought it on the recommendations of several members on here for that purpose at the time.
