    Thank you for the great tip. There are some times when I wonder why I love quilting so much and it is when a problem like you've described creeps into your project. Keeping your machine and all of its parts clean is so important. I try to maintain a regular cleaning after each project and it has made life so much easier. The lint that collects around the bobbin is one culprit that I watch very closely as it caused one very unpleasant mess on an otherwise great project. You are a great detective and we thank you for this learning you have shared.

    But does it sew through nicely? And is it easy to rip off? I'll give it a try. Thanks for the idea.

    Not yet. If I figure it out, I'll be sure to post.
