Is the only solution to keep cutting the thread, taking a look underneath and then reconnecting thread? That doesn't seem practical.
I tape the back down to the floor making sure it is all taut. Don't pull and stretch the fabric, just taut. Then I put down the battting making sure it is all smoothed out. Then I put down the top. Smoothing it out good as I pin.
Hope that make sense.
