I took the machine in and that was a week ago and now it's doing the same thing. I have always hand quilted and this is my first real project doing free style. Any suggestions?
Hand quilting thread has a glaze on it. Machine quilting thread doesn't have a glaze. Regular sewing thread is usually cotton wrapped poly. Probably the reason Connecting Threads doesn't have that distinction is it's all 100% cotton thread and can be used for either pieceing or quilting.
As to the fuzzies in your machine, are you using cheap thread? Cheap thread tends to have a lot of lint.
