Default FMQ - Eyelashes on front, back is perfect!

So this is different. I did a test piece before I began and I am making eyelashes on the front. The back is perfect. Advice please??

P.S. They only show up on the curves.

I have this happened to me occasional when I have changed thread and I just re-thread the top tension. If that doesn't work, then you will have to check your tension. Good Luck!!

OK, I fixed it. It's odd because I have this one machine all set up all the time for FMQ. But I guess the tension knob got moved when I closed it last time or something. In addition to the eyelashes, I could see the top thread was laying too flat, there was no stitch definition. So I loosened the tension on the top and I also tightened the bobbin tension. I guess I did it just right, because it's fine now. Thanks Maniac!
