Looking for feed back.
 

Ok calling all quilter to let me know. It ok I'm looking for all bad and good to help here. This is my first quilt sorry the pic came out funny. I would like help on some thing here.
1. Why is my bobben thread getting all balled up under here.
2. When your doing the quilt part with all this colors when color thread do you us this look funny to me.

Wow you did not start out with a simple pattern. The bobbin thread balled up is probably a tension problem. As far as thread color a light gray, or a verigated thread with colors in the quilt.

I think I would go with a light gray also. Experiment with your tension on a small "sandwich" until you get it the way you want it. I like your quilt!

Oh thank you . I think it may help , But it is a nice pattern I like doing it . It fast and all in one you get done with the block you are done lol

I usually use light grey or beige unless the back is dark and then I try to match the bobin thread to the dark back.

wo you when over my head on this 80/20 and the walking foot is that what I'm stepping on to make it sew. Sorry I do not know all the lengo . I have just started and all the info I have pick up is from this web page see how good you all are. Ya I really had a time try to get it straight.

When I have bobbin issues, first thing I do is take it out, look for loose threads and "dust balls". I clean it all out, oil if needed. Then I move on to make sure the bobbin is wound right. Sometimes bobbins get wound to loose and can cause problems, or if they're close to being emptied they can get a little weird. Once all that's done I recheck my tension and reload the bobbin. Usually before I actually quilt on my quilt I make a practice sandwich and test out my tension and threads on it. Then when I'm happy I go to my actual quilt.

As for thread suggestion, sometimes when the pattern has a lot going on, I opt for clear thread. It doesn't detract from the design. It can be a bit tricky to work with though. A varigated thread might be the way to go. Either a grey or brown. Would love to see it on here when it's finished!!

1. For me, if thread is balling up it usually means the machine isn't threaded correctly. I just rethread first, and see if that takes care of the problem. If that doesn't fix it, I take the bobbin out and check for lint or fluff or a snip of thread in the works.

2. Unroll some diffent colors of thread onto the surface of the quilt and see how they look. This is going to be down to personal preference. I prefer lighter, more neutral thread, because I am never really trying to call attention to my quilting stitches.

80/20 just means a batting that is 80 percent cotton and 20 percent polyester. usually Hobbs Heirloom brand.
I just bought a pkg of it today. also are you trying to do free motion quilting by chance? or doing regular machine stitches for quilting the quilt? sounds like you are doing quilt as you go, block by block....
