Hello NYC Metro Mod Quilters-
I am enjoying spending my holiday today with my newly tuned-up machine, fixing the timing really improved my free-motion quilting. But I'm still having lots of trouble with my thread breaking... like this:
Can you see what happened there? While free-motion quilting in little swooping curves (it's worse when trying angles) the thread breaks partially and gets wound up in itself and then eventually breaks entirely.
Has anyone else had this problem?? It's a new needle, a newly tuned machine... I'm hoping it's just poor quality thread or something? I'm using Coats Cotton for machine quilting... any ideas would be appreciated, sometimes this happens every few inches. Not so much fun.
Happy post-Thanksgiving all! I'm looking forward to the upcoming meeting...
Thanks,
-Christa
