Oh, no. How frustrating! Happy you figured out your "helper's" little tension change.

I was about 3/4 of the way done when I began to get rat's nests on the bottom. Cleaned, etc. Tore out, restitch. Over and over again. I decided to use my trusty old machine to finish it. I got it partly done and same problem. I threw it across the room, back it was going to the UFO and I off the the store to buy a gift. But I couldn't let that quilt beat me. So I didn't leave the house. Finished the quilting by hand. Won't look as great but it would be done. Then the binding. Well, I got it half on and the nests began again. GRRRR. Turns out a little 2 yr old helper reset the tension to zero. LOL
HappyNana, isn't it interesting how we put away tops and then find them later, practically having forgotten making them?
Quiltermomma, I'm also looking forward to more finishes. You make such beautiful quilts.
I'm at a standstill until Sunday afternoon on my scrappy quilt. Lots of things to do between now and then but come Sunday, I'll be back at it.
Libster, thank you for sharing Sewbizgirl's tutorial.
It's the method I plan to use on my scrappy quilt. Yours really turned out well. I added it to the Boom gallery btw.
