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.
I am making a quillow. I have the quilt sewn, but when I tried to sew the pillow onto the quilt, it must have been too thick and now the bobbin is bunched up. I also broke the presser foot lifter while I was trying to fit all the layers under the foot. so until the machine can be repaired at Joann's in 2 weeks, the project is on hold. my machine and I usually end up doing battle. sigh....
