if the foot has some rough spot where the thread is rubbing, it could cause that.
I've had problems like that, too... quilting for hours and then all of a sudden, nothing is working right. I use topstitch needles when I have cranky thread. The hole is bigger in those. |
FMQ is done with a darning foot or spring foot on and feed dogs down. and foot/shaft in down position too. don't forget that, I have.

I just don't see why it did one square perfectly and is now balking. Maybe Sue is just being contrary. Whatever i am NOT going to frustrate myself endlessly. If I have to I will pull my other machine out and quilt it on that. Meantime I will piece blocks.
Best of Luck, sue Lol! I hope you find this as amusing as me......I wasn't talking about you! Its a Sunbonnet sue quilt! Sorry I didn't pay any attention to names when I made that post. |
