I had the same problem with loops of thread on the back of my project and it was so frustrating. I decided I was going to search online until I found an answer. The answer for my problem was - the presser foot must be down in order for the upper tension to work and prevent the much hated loops. Even though I wasn't using a presser foot, I still had to lower the bar thingy where the presser foot would be. Not very good with technical terms am I? This solved my problem - hope it helps yours.

I tried the garden gloves and they just didn't work for me, bought the free motion gloves. Made a big diffrent, my friend bought the fm bobbin thing and said that makes a huge diffrence. So I am going to try one of those. Every little bit helps.

I have a pair of lightweight garden gloves I started with and then was given a pair of quilting gloves. I love the quilting gloves but my fingernails have poked holes out the ends of the tips. :roll: Anyone got a solution for that?
