Looks great for a first attempt -
I am not an expert but what I found out with my few FMQ projects is that the thread needs to be good thread (I no longer purchase Coats & Clark as I have had that problem with just plain sewing with it) and that if you are using spray basting that your needle eye should be larger than you would usually use as the "glue" builds up in the eye AND you should go lightly on the spraying!
Also - some machines are more finicky that others with thread. I am sure that it is how it goes through the tension disks and needle.
I use either Microtex or embroidery needles and Guterman thread.
There are also a few threads (forum threads of course :lol: ) on this as well . Here are just a few that might help you as well:
