Yup feed dogs down all the time with a darning foot when I do FMQ.
My tension seems to have improved after all the trial and errors I've been doing the past two days. Looks like putting my Janome on tension 2 and foot pressure 2 give the best results, though quite inconsistent. I still see some tiny loops in some areas. I notice that I get loops at the top most often when making curves. Has this something to do with me moving the quilt too fast when making curves?
One other question : Does the type of batting affect tension too? Is there a difference between cotton and polyester batts?
