Machine quilting?
I've been busy quilting today and just realised I can see daylight through the quilt! I'm using the correct needle according to the manual for quilting (purple tip). The backing fabric is quite a heavy african fabric in black. Its nice to touch but not so fine as the regular backing I normally use. With the sapphire I started using top stitch needles for quilting, primarily to prevent thread breaking. Would changing the needle help to minimise this? I've done about a quarter of the quilt in one of the preprogrammed designs. I assume that as it is labelled as 'quilting designs' that it is ok to use these for quilting? Haven't experienced this before. Possibly a combination of needle and coarser fabric? Any advice appreciated thank you
