I don't mess with the tension or stitch length at all...just use your darning foot (make sure its down). You speed with which you move the fabric and your movement will determine your stitch length. Try to move smoothly..it doesn't really matter at this point whether your stitches are big or little...just try to move smoothly so that they are consistant.

I had that stuff on the back when I forgot to lower my foot on my machine. You'll get it...hang in there!!!! Oh...and be sure to hold your mouth right :wink:

Hmmmm, am no expert but it looks like how mine came out first time when I had the tension too low. I have a Pfaff Hobby 1122 For normal sewing the tension is on 2 or 3, but for FMQ it is best on 5. I was advised (on this site of course!) to play and practive with your settings until you get the right results. Then make a note of how you had it all set up so in future you don't have to 'trial and error' again.

Good luck, and post pics when you get it down!
