Still struggling. I've been able to do a lot of FMQ on this project and I've tried many of the suggestions posted in response to my SOS. After many hours of torture I've realized that sewing over the seams is often where everything breaks down. The needle seems to stick and yank the quilt up, stitches are skipped, the bobbin thread can go off synch, and the thread can break near the needle. I'm currently using a 14 ball point needle (waiting for top stitch needles from Schmetz), 50 weight cotton Gutermann and Aurifil, and I built up the table around the machine. But I can't remove the bulk of the seams. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? This is torture!!!
