Puckered Basting Threads
I am close to actually quilting my first top. I have been experimenting with a quilt sandwich to adjust tension settings, stitch length, etc. I keep getting puckers next to the basting line whether I have it set to 6 for basting (see photo) or any other length.
I see so many quilts online that are completely flat by all of the stitch lines, but I don't know how this is achieved. Is it my stitch/tension settings? My batting? The photo was taken using a mid-poly, but I got similar results using 100% cotton batting, too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I am quilting on a Juki TL 2010q, using a walking foot.
