I already posted a message here saying that I was in again and asked if I needed to send my information again or if you could use the info from last month. (Message #9) I guess I should send you a PM, right???

All signed up Karen TL it's the spool, just twists off like crazy. Do you use a net on it? Sounds like you had a great weekend. We went to a coed baby shower for our soon to be twin boys, so fun, and then we did a bar-b-que Saturday night. Another 5 weeks and they will arrive

jaba lower you top tension to 1 and use top stitch needle #70 and 50wt bobbin thread. I have a Husqvarna Designer SE. The main thing is to loosen your tension to 0 and work you way up until you get the look you want. I also use the zig zag stitch on #1 width and #1 length. I use this on all my machine Applique with invisible thread. Hope this help you.

Going to the machine now and see what happens. Thank you so much, crossing my fingers

If it's the spool that is making it go crazy then try: putting your thread in a cup so your thread come off spool smoothly.

No think it was the tension, your suggestion helped I think. [ATTACH=CONFIG]515327[/ATTACH]pic the way I started, 2nd is all your help but regular bobbin thread, don't have 50wt. Am I getting closer?[ATTACH=CONFIG]515326[/ATTACH]
