Wait! What Happened to my quilting?

I am inclined to believe that it is the needle. If they are slightly bent while quilting, it can cause this. I don't think it is the tension because you were already having good results before this happened. Or like someone said open up the bobbin area and clean it out. A loose thread might have gotten in there to gum things up and cause a tension problem.

I have already replaced the needle and put a 14/90 needle in the place of the old needle.

Are you quilting on a domestic Janome using a floating foot? If so , it is easy to forget to lower the presser foot lever when you start quilting, and that means there is no tension on your top thread which will result in birds nests underneath. I've had this happen a number of times when quilting on my domestics.
