Help....what am I doing wrong? I am trying to practice FMQ, I will be moving along just fine and then the fabric won't move. The bobbin thread gets tangled up. I then have to pull out the snarled mess.
When I sew on a smaller sample things go fine but when I move on to the bigger BQ this is when it happens.
I read the the bobbin thread moves slower then the spooled thread. I think I am maintaining a constant speed, which I don't know if that would have anything to do with it or not.
I have threaded and re-threaded, cleaned the bobbin case, moved the thread from the machine to a spool holder, changed the needle at least 3 times.
I am getting extremely frustrated.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
