I'm machine quilting a 50x50 quilt on my Viking; this is only the third one I've done and I've never had this problem before.
The quilt top is black, green, lime, pink, purple and orange. The back is dark mottled purple. I'm using varigated thread on top and dark purple in the bottom. There's no white anywhere. I used a thin Hobb's batting.
Problem: I quilted a grid pattern and when I look at the back of the quilt it seems like the batting is coming through with the stitches. The tension is correct, my stitches are even on top and bottom. There's no batting on the top of the quilt. It happens randomly-fine for 12-20 inches of stitching then 2-4inches where there's white (batting) showing.
Can someone tell me what's going wrong and how to prevent this please. I'm 90% done and don't want to rip it out. I can cover the white with purple marker but I want to make sure this doesn't happen again.
Thanks everyone-
Peace-Jan
