I recently took a FMQ class and the instructor had us practice on preprinted pillow panels and large print fabrics.
Yup, always made sure my bobbin thread is pulled up before the FMQ. I've tried almost everything I could in my capacity. Guess would really give the blue bobbin case a try....just called the service centre and the lady said she would deliver it to a dealer nearby for me to pick up. I asked about the straight stitch needleplate with a single hole too but she said it's out of stock locally.
Has anybody tried the blue tip needles with FMQ and does it help?
I'm using wt 30 thread as I find it thicker, hence may be more sturdy for MQ. I note that some people have suggested that I try wt 50. Is it strong enough for MQ to feed through the quilt sandwich and withstand multiple washes?
