Yes this above what Wendy says.

Also it seems every machine is different. It took me years to figure out the best setting for the Janome 6500. It ended up being that I have NO problems if I leave the feed dogs up with that machine. I also do better with a slightly thinner/lighter thread in the bobbin then the top or a lighter thread in both. When quilting I also use a top stitch needle 90/14. It made a big difference for me. Maybe you can post what machine this was done on.
