That stinks! I quilted a faux chanel blanket a week ago and had the samething happen.
|
looks like the top tention is too loose.
|
I.ve done same thing...............keep on trucking..dont look back
|
The only good thing is you caught it before you gave it... and with the tension so loose it will be easy to remove.
|
Have certainly got a lot of hints from this entry---especially to turn over my quilt periodically to be sure all is well on the underside.
|
This has happened to me too. My machine is going to slow and I am moving the quilt too fast.
|
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem and figured out like I did that it was indeed MY fault.
I discovered that when I am quilting, usually using my walking foot that I inadvertantly hit the tension knob when I am turning my quilts. I had one that looked like this & I was very disappointed. Then noticed that my tension was WAY down. I have a sticky note on the front of my machine to remind me to check my tension frequently. Happy Quilting, Susan |
Ooh I agree that's tension and because of the long stitches it shouldn't take too long to remove but boy I know how frustrating that can be...been there and done that! ;) I have a little square from a practice sandwich I made that I keep by my sewing machine whenever I'm free motioning...just like I might check my tension for piecing evertime I start I will do a little practice squiggle on my scrap square just to make sure tension and everything is looking good. Gives me a little warm up too before I get started on my actual project. Good luck! ;)

Sometimes you need a new needle too.

Been there, done that....it is easy to remove, but it doesn't make you feel any better...so sorry....However, like you, I did learn an important lesson, check the back OFTEN.....Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
