Well, I worked & worked with it & decided to just do straight line quilting. I'll try to figure out what's wrong on some sample pieces. This quilt I'm making has black backing so I didn't want to have to do a lot of picking out if things go bad with the meandering. Thanks for all the suggestions. About a week ago I did a big sample to make sure I had the right tension & everything & did not have a problem at that time. I'll keep fiddling with it when I finish up this quilt & figure out what's wrong. Thank goodness my machine still sews! I can do without FM quilting but can't do without my machine.
