Newbie at free motion quilting
#21
i watched these 4 instructional videos from you tube and they were quite a help. since I am a newbie at this (my first attempt was 2 days ago) one thing i did that helped was to bring the bobbin thread to the top when starting and make sure the feed dogs are down and the presser foot is down, otherwise you get a big tangle of thread in the back. i hope these attachments work

I am so surprised how well the gloves and bobbin washers work! When I tried FMQ before getting these items the back of the sandwich was horrible but now it looks really good. I'd recommend these products to anyone! :-)
