That happens when I FMQ as well. I look at it as an opportunity to check for spaces I've missed. Sometimes it's hard to see where I'm going or where I've been with the stitching, especially if I'm using invisible thread. I hold the table runner or whatever up to the window and I can see if I've missed with anywhere with the FMQ. The holes disappear when I press it.
