I've tried various needles and at the moment a top stitch 11 is working for me - but I've got some blue tip and will try them if I have any more difficulties.
SO glad that you've solved the issue on your machine - I hope that you can now enjoy FMQ!
Thanks! I hope this is the end to your FMQ woes too! :)
My machine's weird....sometimes it works and the day after it doesn't, even though I've not changed the settings. Keeping my fingers crossed that tomorrow will be another good FMQ day!
