Gee, I use sharpies in various shades of brown to fix "dings" in furniture and woodwork. Now I have another use for my rainbow pack of markers. Love this board.

A smaller size needle could do the trick, your needle may be making a too big of hole.
|
Whar stitch length are you Using? I lengthen my length to acccommodate the thickness of the batting, usually,, .5 higher.
So if Isew at 2.5,, increase to 3. It appears to me that the tread is pulling, hope that is it and helps. |
Some of it may be the batting coming through.

There is pens with fabric dye in the instead of a sharpie, I have used both and have found that the fabric dye works best buttt you must heat set it before washing.

Try adjusting the presser foot, not just the tension.

I finished that border last night.Turning the machine sideways seemed to do the trick until my spool started running out. There are some things that just can't be explained and this is one of the mysteries of life I guess. But I will keep everyones suggestions in mind. Thank you all so much.

I use the laundry marking pens. The ones you use to mark the kids clothes when they go to camp. LOL That way you know it won't wash out.

That's what I was going to suggest. I agree, it works!

Promise not to laugh and I'll tell you what I did to "fix it." Promise?........ I got the tension issues to the best point I could, but the little with dots still showed on the front but the black quit showing on the back. I quilted it to the best of my limited abilities and then.....................got out my fine tipped sharpie marker and colored the thread dots on the front black. Several washings later you still can't tell, so in my book it worked. Just promise not to tell the quilt police on me. |
try having less pressure on the pressure foot & using a quilting needle. Check your tension on fabric without any batting inbetween & shorten your stitch for less pull on the tensions.(if on 2 1/2 go down to 2) heavy pressure on the pressure foot can sometimes cause the stitches to show on both sides & so can a longer stitch
