Built in hand quilting stitch....
 

This BL has it, I tried it last night on a piece of scrap....NOT! Just a puckered mess...I do plan on calling the dealer today....I know they LOVE me! ......and ask why? But I thought maybe some here have been successful...

Off hand, if any decorative stitch is puckering, you need to use stabilizer and/or loosen the tension a bit. I would go with a tear away stabilizer.

I have 3 Baby Locks. My latest is the BL Journey. It has a hand quilting stitch that I have used often. It always comes out great. I don't know what the problem is with your machine, but I would contact the dealer you purchased from and I would also suggest going to the store and see if they can point out something you might be doing wrong. I know with the Journey it is so complicated sometimes that I can't find the answers in the 100+ manual. Good Luck.

If this is a hand quilting stitch, then it would be tensioned for a quilt sandwich. The top, batting, and backing. This might be why you are getting puckering with the stitch.

I'm not sure of which stitch you mean. Is it a triple then a single? Maybe your top tension is too tight. I'm supposed to be able to do like an imitation sashiko stitch, using sheer thread, but even my dealer can't explain to me how to do it properly, so I've had no joy with that either.
Perhaps someone here on the Board can explain how it's done.

Machine "hand quilted stitch" worked!
 

I know I posted a previous thread about puckering....well, dummy me didn't have a sandwich under that pressure foot.....so with a sample one it worked after I tweaked the tension a bit more........then I proceeded to do it on the tabletopper I had EPP ...........it's good...i don't like the reflectiveness of the mono thread being noticeable....although this spool was in my stash...maybe there is now a dull one......it was a bugger threading...like working with gossamer, spider web silk.........but now I know how I can use it if I choose to.

But, it's now almost done ( just to bind......today) and no longer a UFO, but a useful thing! Now what to finish next?

A new year coming and I'm still surrounded by "old" projects!

Wish you had posted a photo. You are NOT the only one surrounded by UFOs. I am slowly making progress.

Most of us have a lot of UFOs lying around but some have become invisible (playing hide n seek). I found some just yesterday while trying to organize a few things.

The Monopoly thread by Superior Threads is not as shiny as others. You may want to try that one next time.

The Monopoly comes in two ways - glossy and matte. You, of course, would want the matte finish.

Thanks..will look into monopoly thread........and I guess this stitch can be used in sashiko........but would have to use a stabilizer as it would pucker as my first experiment scrap did.....

On the quilting stitch using stabilizer will give you a real mess on the back. I know from experience you will have to use tweezers and still probably never get all the bits of white out.

can you please show us your quilt that you quilted?

Tried to send pic?...
 

On hand stitch via machine....instructions say look for icon that looks like a framed tree-----huh? No where on my screen!

You need to change your settings. Under your profile, under My Account click "General Settings". Then you need to scroll all the way down to Miscellaneous options (at the bottom of the page). Click the radio button next to "Enhanced Interface - Full WYSIWYG editing" MAKE SURE you click the "save changes" button after doing this.

You will then see the little tree icon in a frame when you compose messages on the QB. You need to make sure your pictures are resized as there are size limits for uploading pics and most people have their camera settings at way too high a pixel value.

Feline fanatic...thanx for that info...I think I did it! Here are pics of that machine quilt hand stitch. ( I hope!). Well I can do it in the little pop up box, but then how to bring to this reply screen?...oops, there's one of them...better than none!

Here is pic of tabletopper...nothing special just trying out some EPP pattern

GeriB looks like you solved your problem. That is a pretty table topper.

Check your stitch length too. I was using a too short length which resulted in puckering. Sometimes the present lengths need tweaking too.

I love the hand look quilting stitch. Wish mine worked. Nice EPP project. I've been doing them myself recently, but alas have to do actual hand stitching. Lucky you!

Interesting! What does the back look like?
