After reading posts on here about FMQ I realized I had not adjusted my stitch length to zero. So I adjusted it....I thought! I adjusted the tension to zero and have to rip out two long rows!! Uugghhh!!

Ugh! Some days, I'm more of a ripper with periodic fits of quilting. No fun!

I had to take some quilting out, I didn't pay attention and thread was not threaded right. When I was checking it was stitching very well. Checking to make sure it was threaded right I noticed that was the problem. I had cleaned, oiled and changed the needle. This quilt is fast, easy and goes together rather quickly, it has taken me longer than it should have. Being gone a couple days, having trouble with the internet and having to have a repairman at the house most of Sunday didn't help. Oh well, it will get done soon.

No fun! Just got done doing that myself a few days ago, only because I caught up part of the edge under the quilt!
I guess it can't all be pleasure

I am certified champ and ripping stitches out. Had way to much experience with it.

If you are FMQ, you are controlling the stitch length. I don't change mine from regular stitching but then I have a Bernina with a stitch regulator.

I don't change my stitch length either, with the feed dogs dropped it should not matter. It would all depend on your speed of movement and machine speed.

What a bummer! It depends on the machine whether the stitch length goes to zero or not. With my Baby Lock, I have to set the stitch-length to 3.5 or 4 to get a decent FMQ stitch. My Pfaff needs to go to zero.

Sorry to hear. My name says it all about what I spend a lot of time doing!!
