I hope you can find the problem.

No, not this time! I've got it on a mid-arm frame, I guess is what you'd call it. I'm moving the machine around, not the fabric. But I'm doing it really really really slow and I don't think that is what is causing it. I thought that's what I was doing wrong before. So I bought a mid arm and frame and sold my domestic that I was learning to FMQ on. I'd rather be breaking needles on my $50 machine than my $400 one
