Speed and Tension question.

The question is are you piecing or machine quilting? Piecing can matter, with the thickness of the fabric, maybe use a little larger needle, if machine quilting I was taught to use a fast foot and a slow hand, hope I helped.

Thanks dude... I'm piecing at the moment. The material is thicker than the last lot I used, maybe that's my problem. I've just had a play on some spare bits and wound the tension way past where I usually have it and it seems to be working well, touch wood.
I didn't realise there was so much involved, I might have a bad needle in there.
