I have been reading posts about tangled bottom threads, especially with FMQ, I read one and the member had tried everything and couldn't resolve the problem. I knew there was something else to check but for the life of me I couldn't remember it and then........ Last week I had the dreaded tangles when doing FMQ and tested out the TNTs; thread; needle n tension and nothing solved it, so I put the project to one side and did something else.
Yesterday I had to do some FMQ and when winding my bobbin I realised what the problem was, I was using the WRONG bobbin :shock: It works OK for ordinary sewing but not with FMQ so what I would say to anyone having a similar problem, do make sure that you are using the right bobbin and that you are winding it correctly, using the smaller hole nearest to the spindle of the bobbin to start the winding, you never know it might help.
