Default Where is my brain??!!

I'm trying to get a lap quilt finished for my aunt. Been busy making doll clothes for the grandbabies' American Girl dolls, and finally decided I'm done with that. So, yesterday, decided to get out the quilt and get going (was basted, but not quilted yet). Do a practice square, make sure my machine is happy with the settings, new needle, etc. First bobbin's worth looks good, considering I haven't FMQ in probably 6 months. Load 2nd bobbin and go happily on my way. 2nd bobbin now empty, look at back...EYELASHES all OVER the place. Apparently, my machine was NOT happy with the 2nd bobbin, for whatever reason. Now, I KNOW that I need to check every time I change anything, but did I? NO. Now I'm picking out a whole bobbin's worth of quilting. Sheesh!
