FMQ My bottom Stitches look too long
#1
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.

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

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.
