great suggestion/picture!
I had the same thing happen after I had taken a FMQ class. I might
add that I had been using Coats and Clark thread. My teacher said
that it was made of short lengths of thread unlike the more expensive
threads. Since that time, I use better thread and haven't had the
problem again.
