free motion quilting on a Brother
I am a novice quilter who has completed several quilts but I have been working on learning quilting for 4 years and I still do not feel I "know how". Free motion quilting is the reason I purchased the new Brother Quattro and I am disappointed. I don't know whether it is me or the machine. I like the 11" throat and the basic soundness of the stitching...it doesn't jiggle like my lighter weight manual singer machine. BUT so far I have tons of bird nests on the back of the quilting fabric. It worked great for about 2 hours then after that I have had nothing but tangles on the back. I was told by other quilters in my guild that I should use 60wt thread which I tried but it did not change the problem.
Any suggestions???
