All looks good on top but a disaster underneath. Otherwise it looks like tension. Could it also be the thread your machine doesn't like. I recently bought some thread and no matter how I set my machine it hated it, it either snapped constantly or looped so I gave it to someone else to try in their machine or chuck it if hers hates it too! Went back to my usual thread and no problems! Frustrating for sure!Soolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04703155392258429098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-20110317183302956182012-10-05T20:43:49.965+10:002012-10-05T20:43:49.965+10:00Your top tension is too loose and you may be movin...Your top tension is too loose and you may be moving the machine too fast. The machine will sound like it needs to be moved quicker but it doesn't. Your stitches should be way smaller than the ones in the photo.

That's all it was. Obviously I don't know if that's what your issue is but I see that someone else mentioned this as a possible answer ... so ... perhaps?<br /><br />Good luck!

Make certain the same with the bobbin and that it is inserted properly. It appears that your top tension is too loose and if making it tighter doesn't work then you will need to tighten the bobbin tension. Best of luck.

It's a lot of practice since it seems you have a new toy. Don't give up as new machines take time to get used to. Have fun and I hope you get the top tension figured out.

It seems counter-intuitive, but if the problem is on the bottom of the fabric, often the solution is to check the top thread. <br /><br />you could also try leaving your feed dogs UP and reducing your stitch length to zero. On some machines the tension works better when the feed dogs are engaged even for free motion quilting (you can also try covering the feed dogs with some thin card or painter's tape if the roughness is catching on your fabric.<br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Sarahfoodmathquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06681120171564102892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603222641266424303.post-33929252842737615362012-10-05T12:10:13.485+10:002012-10-05T12:10:13.485+10:00I find that adjusting the tension a little at a ti...I find that adjusting the tension a little at a time helps.
