I think it was worth the frustration. I have a viking too, and once in a while it just doesn't like all that thickness. I then switch to those super sharp needles. That does seem to help

Your wallhanging is lovely! And in the close-up your stitching looks excellent.

I envy those of you that can quilt on your machines.....I get puckers EVERY time....I think I am just too impatient with the pinning and don't do it well enough!

This post was a good reminder of all the points to watch while free motion quilting. I hadn't even thought of thickness. I admire all that are able to free motion quilt. I am still in the take a big breath and start practicing. I just freeze thinking about this skill. That is why I am accumulating UFO's.

Check your manual to see if you are using the correct needle for the type of material you are using and that your project is not too thick for the needle being used. Sometimes you have to use a certain needle for corse material or thick layers.

i agree make sure your pressure foot is down and your foot you are using is attached properly so that for some reason the needle might be hitting it or maybe did you move the needle to a differant position where it might be hitting the foot

I love it! I am currently working on a yo-yo "quilt" throw for the foot of my bead and so hooked on them wondered what to make next - of course this really makes my "procrastination" of starting to quilt that much further out...but I am totally addicted to these blogs - I love my daily laugh and learn
