Default I was happy until....

I am making my daughter a quilt for her birthday. And I thought today would be the day that I take the plunge and try fmq. I did a quick tester piece...everything looked good. Top and bottom. No eyelashes. (YAH!!!) Tension was at 3, feed dogs down, didn't change my stitch length...and it FINALLY looked good. Most of the time in practice, I always had eyelashes. So, I was thrilled when my tester piece didn't have any!

So...I started quilting. It was going GREAT! One half of the quilt done....back looks good. Front doesn't look too shabby for a first time.

Then I ran out of bobbin thread. I reloaded, didn't change anything, and started quilting again. Now, I have eyelashes. Help! What did I do wrong?
