What batting are you using? Does the sandwich travel easy through the machine, or do you have to pull and tug?
Yes, the stitches DO change with 2-4 thickness of fabric and the batting is the thin batting that JoAnn's sell by the yd off the bolt. The sandwich does not travel easily, I would stop about every 4-6 inches and straighten the fabric and adjust the weight (it is just a lap quilt) and I did make sure the presser foot was down! Maybe the machine just cannot accomodate the sandwich. I have done a Quilt as you Go with flannel batting with no problems.
Thanks for your help>>>always enjoy your comments on the blog!!
