Hi all,
I'm fairly new to machine quilting. I recently bought an Elna machine and have mostly tried quilting in straight lines. But I wanted to try free motion quilting, so I dropped the feed dogs and removed the presser foot. The top of the quilt line looked okay, but underneath was a mess. The thread didn't break, but I got a bunch of big loops and knots. I didn't change the tension because it had been working so well at those settings. Is that where I went wrong? Do I need to change the tension when switch to free style quilting?
Thanks so much,
Tanya
