Did you hoop the quilt for quilting in your machine? Do you bring the bobbin thread "up" when starting? The machine stippling looks fun in these machines. I want to try some sample blocks on mine.
although i can use the standard hoops for quilting i invested in a magnetic hoop.
it makes it much easier to position the quilt and to pull it flat without stretching it too much.
(the overly-stretched was my fault, not the machine or hoop.)
i do pull the bobbin thread up to start but the machine automatically knots and cuts top & bottom threads when a pattern is done. i used to obsessively trim off the little threads it leaves on the back. i got over that after the first few quilts. it's the back. anybody who doesn't like them there can do their own trimming. lol
