I HATE when that happens. You probbably wouldn't be happy with it the way it is. I'd just suck it up and rip it out. I'm so sorry. :-((

My rule of FMQ. If things seem to be going really well, look for the problem. It's always there!

I would fix it. I wonder if you could pull up on the top thread enough to bring the bottom into the sandwich? Just a thought, and probably wouldn't take as much time as ripping it.

I'm so sorry but I'm with the majority. I would go ahead and rip it out. You won't ever be happy with that quilt if you don't.

I agree, and it should be easy to pull the bobbin thread out.

The good news is after you remove the quilting on the one side, you should be able to follow the original stitching holes to re-do it? Is it a big area? I feel your pain.

So sorry about your tension, but it is well worth ripping it out...and it won't be so bad since the threads are loose, and it will be easy to clip here and there and then pull the thread. If you can, take the project off the frame or machine and do the ripping while watching TV. Before you know it, you will be done. Hang in there.
