Question for long armers
I am making a quilt for my son, he doesn't want batting and wants the minky like backing. I have it on the frame and am using the needle and thread that is recommended to use together. However the thread or needle is pulling the nap to the top and dots of the backing are showing. I don't know how to check the tension in the fuzzy backing but it looks good on the top. I have even tried to adjust the tension to see if that makes a difference. I tried poly thread and it worked better but still dots along the stitch line. I have changed needles and have ordered a smaller needle to try. I have even put samples of batting materials along the side to see if any type helps and there was no difference. Any suggestion would be so very much appreciated!!
