I micro stitch too. No show quilts yet. It's taken me a lot of time to figure out how to bring bobbin thread to top in middle of piece. Hope this makes sense and is helpful. Do micro stitches. Needle up, presser foot up. Pull quilt away from stitching area about 8". Go back to stitching area and put needle down in last hole. Needle up. Pull up bobbin thread - about 4". You will have continual loop. Cut bobbin thread and top thread at farthest point from needle. Move quilt top several inches and you will see one bobbin thread disappears and the other stays. You can now clip the top and bobbin threads which are on the quilt top. Move your top to the next FMQ position and bring the bobbin thread up and start FMQ. Good luck.
