Thanks everyone for the input. Ok I have just purchased a used Liberty APQS. I am teaching myself and it's been fun but challenging. So far I have just done a couple of practice pieces with sheets and muslin and of course cotton batting. I am using Superior "so fine" thread. The eyelashes are on the top! It seems I was doing pebbles that did not have eyelashes on every pebble before but do now. Today I am going to slow down. That could be the problem. I am now thinking after reading all these suggestions that it could be the top tension as last night when I was fussing with it I noticed the disc on the top tension was opened! Which would mean there was no top tension, right? So I will mess with that. I cleaned the bobbin case several times, I checked for dust or threads in the bobbin spring and honestly I did not notice any lint. The bobbin tension appeared right as it did turn on its side and I could pull the thread evenly! So when I go up today I will try all these suggestions! Oh by the way I used a turbo winder to wind my bobbins! The bobbins appeared to be hard so I thought that they looked pretty good but that turbo winder is almost scary when it winds it's so powerful! Anyway ladies thanks for input...in about one hour I will be up there using and going over each suggestions given to me by you all!
