I have not FMQ'ed anything to give as a gift yet. My practice pieces showed that I was getting pretty good at consistent size stitches---then I turned it over and looked at the back side. Stitches twice as long as the ones on top.
I have a Janome 10001 that sews like a dream for piecing. What do I need to do to correct this? Thanks for any info. |
Well isnt that odd, never heard of that, are you sure its not eyelashes?
|
Can you post a pic of the front and the back? I can not imagine how that happen.
|
Definitely need to see a picture of that. Is it possible your bobbin tension was too high so your bobbin thread is laying on the back giving the appearance of long stitches??
|
sounds like hand fatigue.. do you wear those wonderful gloves with rubber fingertips? Good luck.
|
mind burp.. sorry .. re-read the post.
I agree.. tension on top or bottom.. check out the Utubes and free motion quilting.. there are a few great ones that explains tension. good luck |
So like a tension problem. Check the bobbin to make sure it is feeding properly. Sometimes I have to go back and pull the bobbin thread up the proper way.
|
When that happens to me, it means it's time to give my machine a good cleaning. I remove the throat plate and give the machine a good brushing and vacuuming out. Lint build up/packing causes the bobbin thread to not catch the top thread making the bottom stitches longer than the top stitches.
