It was fine so I went ahead and finished it off. Then when I flipped to the backing I found several areas full of loops. A bunch of loops then it would be fine...then more loops and more fine. What am I doing wrong?
This is weird...I just had the same problem, in fact I just decided that it was time to quit for the night because i figured a new start tomorrow would be better. But oddly, I had quilted most of the quilt with no problem and got to the border and then had nothing but trouble. We will see how things go in the morning!
