I am using a size 16 needle. There is no dirt in the bobbin case. I am using Coats and Clark thread. Is my needle size wrong? Please help if possible. My granddaughter is so excited for her qwillow :-(
Are you trying to sew a pillow to a quilt? If you do that you can't lay on the pillow and cover up with the quilt at the same time.
A quillow on the other hand, is a quilt with a pocket so the quilt folds up into a pillow.
