What weight of thread are you using? If the top thread is breaking often, then you may want to check your needle size to weight of thread and go up one more size needle. Are you using a size 14? Just trying to help.

I am still learning about FMQ and only have my DSM so it is going slowly, especially since it is the size of the top of a double bed. Fortunately, I am just doing a large meander so as not to distract from the layout of the quilt. I can only go so far and then the top thread breaks so it might take me a while but hope to have this done for the count this month. Love seeing everyone's finishes. All the pictures are wonderful!
