Tension HELP!!!!
 

What does this mean, and how can I fix it? This is a picture of the bottom of my practice quilt. It's the first time I've fmq'ed on this machine, Husqvarna Viking 250 electric, and I could use some help!

Looks to me as if you need to tighten the top tension. That is what I would try first.

Tighten your upper tension in small increments, I use a separate quilt sandwich to set my tension and mark when I change the tension setting with a permanent marker so I know which one works. Also go to amysfreemotionquiltingadventures.com she has a great tutorial on FMQ tension. Good Luck

The top tension may be too loose. Make sure you lower the presser foot so the tension discs engage. Also, do you see that the areas that are the worst are on curves. When it occurs only on curves, you are moving the sandwich too fast.

Thanks for the advice about the picture!

slow your hands down also

You could be going to fast on the curves. Tell yourself "SLOW, SLOW". Check your bobbin and the top tension.

It is actually kind of pretty - even if not what you are trying for.

Part of the problem as Pat M says is the speed you are quilting. Slow down on the curves then check the tension. If tension correct in straight line it is definately the hand speed. We tend to speed up round bends which is wrong. Try keeping feed dogs up. Somebody on here suggested it and with some designs in free motion it have improved drastically.
