fabric whisperer

I did just try FMQ with her... the FD dropped, but the fabric would not move... what am I having a DUH moment about, what did I overlook? I tried to move the fabric, to no avail, so it bound my top thread and snapped it. Ok, rethread... no prob... tried regular sewing again, that's fine... FMQ again, same thing. ???

Oh, I THINK I have the top threaded right... if I post a pic, will that help? Could not see the instrux online, kept freezing my browser... so I guessed. Regular stitching works fine, I hand-cranked her before applying the power LOL.

Thanks for the nice comments about the quilt, that is the centermost part, its for my niece's wedding gift (brother's only daughter) ~ wedding in late June, so I'm trucking along on it.
