FMQ on Brother ult2003 (Disney) Embroidery Machine, thread help please.
Does anyone have a Brother ult2003 (Disney) embroidery machine and have you tried using it for free motion quilting? I have this machine and want to do FMQ on two lap quilt tops I just finished. I dropped the feed dogs and used the embroidery "Q" foot with a built-in quilt stitch (1-30) and this seems to work really well.
The only problem I keep having is with the thread. I'm able to FMQ for awhile but then the thread bunches up and eventually breaks. I've tried 100% cotton threads.
My question is what is the best thread to use and is there a special stitch adjustment to use with the Brother ult2003 machine?
I love FMQ but am about ready to pull my hair out! Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.
