Looks like eyelashes on back. i have tried with feed dogs down and up. I bought a slider but to my idea that isn't slick enough. I still have some drag. Anyone have ideas on what to use instead of a slider?
The eyelashes are due to tension issues. That's what I'm trying to avoid by leaving the feed dogs up. When I drop with the feed dogs I have to play a lot with the tension and it still has issues.
