FMQ - tension? issues
Ladies -- I've been practicing FMQ and I think I'm having tension issues but I don't know how to fix the problem.
Attached is a pic of the bottom side of a practice quilt sandwich. I've outlined in red where I removed the hopping foot and stitched with the straight stitch foot. No problems on the top or the bottom with the stitch quality.
Then before trying the FMQing, I thoroughly cleaned the bobbin case of dust and lint, and made sure that the tension was not changed from the straight stitch setting. I started out with a new needle and I'm using King Tut thread in the bottom and on the top. The batting is Warm and Natural low loft. When FMQ, I've started to get the hang of keeping the stitching speed even, the pressure on the foot pedal even, and not moving the fabric sandwich too fast.
Not sure how to fix this so if anyone can give me some suggestions I'd appreciate your help.
