Thank you all for your help & suggestions. I'm going to check into every suggestion made & hopefully 1 or the other will solve the problem. I think that my problem may just be a combination of all of the above, tension too tight, because I do get "eyelashes", but only on 1 machine. The other 2 that I've used at other times, do fine. Even my old antique Kenmore makes beautiful stitches. Lots of fuzzies from the Walmart threads on my Viking, but not so much on my Kenmore or Elna. All have the little white "Bobbin Genie" in them for easier thread flow too. Hmmm.... If I do a straight stitch & usually set it at the "stretch stitch" setting when quilting. As for Batting, I use the Warm & Natural & if I want a little more "POOF", I double it, But I stay away from cheap brands so won't get too many fuzzies in my sewing machine.
