Need HandiQuilter Advice
I took my HandiQuilter in a couple of months ago due to a timing issue. Since it has been back home, I've been experiencing issues with tension. I even took it back in for another look. I wrote about a week ago describing twisted loops on the backside and advice was that the thread is too loose or maybe I'm sewing too fast in the loops and circles. Now, last night I was sewing with King Tut thread and a #19 needle. When I test the tension, it looks great, but when I started actually quilting, the thread kept breaking......I mean frequently. After a number of thread breaks, I changed the King Tut to a Connecting Threads polyester (which is smaller) and a #18 needle and finished the quilt with no problems. So, what do you think is happening??? I'm frustrated and confused! Thanks in advance for your help. BTW, I can't afford another trip to the tech.
