Or it could be a tension problem. If re-threading doesn't work, wind a new bobbin.
Good luck!!
I'm having fun!!! :thumbup:

I have a Brother that I can take away the foot pedal, but have never tried that with FMQ. Do you have to think ahead to push the button for it to stop? I would love to see a picture of your FMQ.

My Janome runs without a foot pedal if I remove it.SOOOOO I removed it and tried to stipple and it turned out GRRREAT!!!
I am so happy. Who would have thought it would help so much but it sure did work for me!!I also did some swirls.
I have the Janome 9000 it is an embroidery machine also.But I have a Janome embroidery machine250 that I use also. As it is easier than the 9000 to embroidery on.
Think I will try to come up with some designs of my own too, since there are no quilt police. :thumbup:

I set my speed control slider where it works with the speed I move my hands. Then I can just floor the pedal and it will only go that speed. Same as using the start stop button. I love to FMQ too. And yes I am using a Janome but it works on other machines that have a speed control w/o the start stop button.
