It is 11.30pm here in the UK and I haven't managed to get it sew properly since 7pm....had tried everything, cleaning...new needle...new bobbin...different threads but never thought to raise the feed....as I said have just tried it and like magic... perfect tension......thank you, thank you, thank you.
Leah Day, of the Free Motion Quilting project blog, recommends doing fmq with the feed dogs up because dropping them can cause tension problems on some machines. Check out her blog - really neat!!
