Gus have you tried the Little Genie Magic Bobbon washers in your machine to get rid of the loops on the back of your FMQ. I love them. They are available on Leah Day website. I had trouble with loops no matter what I did and they solved the problem for me. Also a needle plate with a single hole helps.
I haven't touched my Dear Jane in ages. I am working with a group at the LQS and we have all put it aside until after Christmas. I am finishing up the 50 fabulous paper pieced stars group now. I really need to get back to my DJ. I only have about 12 blocks finished. At this rate it will take 50 years.
Beautiful work everyone. I do enjoy lurking here.
