I seldom have the problem of eyelashes on the backside of a quilt with my elderly Brother machine which has a vertical bobbin. But I'm trying out a variety of new machines since I may be looking to upgrade in the next year or so.
The Viking Sapphires have a horizontal bobbin and I was getting serious eyelashing on the back. I probably just wasn't paying enough attention to what I was doing since I was talking to the sales lady at the same time and being a bit excited by all that extra throat space LOL.
