One thing that comes to mind is that you may need to change your tension settings. Although this Youtube video is aimed at longarms, the information seems to work for any machine used for free-motion quilting:

Once I set my tensions as he suggests (I could not get my bobbin tension as low as he recommends; the screw fell out first!), I have had zero problems frame quilting with my Voyager.
Prism99, I also have the Voyager and just picked up a bunch of Glide thread and bobbins at the Houston show. Glad to hear it works well in your Voyager! I'm looking forward to trying it out, and thanks for the tip that it works well with different needles.
