Obviously, there is a tension problem. However, the first thing to do is a really complete cleaning. when you get it worked out, these should be lovely presents.

I know you are unhappy with the eyelashes but on your particular use of it in the Christmas one it does look like a planned design element. Pretty!

Try rethreading the bobbin.

When my machine does this, the bobbin thread needs to be rethreaded because it is not in the tension guide.

Boy do I appreciate everyone! I decreased the tension to 3.5 from 4.5 and slowed down. Eyelashes showed up when I found myself going fast slowed down and decreased the tension further to 3.2. I decided to be free from restraints and just free motioned all over. I like how it came out so far.
thankyou for your encouragement especially as the first "eyelash" one was my very first attempt at FMQ. Here is my second attempt.
