Ok, I figured out my tension problems with my juki TL98Q. It was the thread I was using. It didn't like it.
What brand of thread works best in your juki for quilting free motion?
Thanks in advance!

For me, the thread usually depends on what I am doing. However I do use Coats & Clark Star Merch thread pretty consistantly. I also use Robison Anton Rayon Machine Embroidery thread if I want to bring out a design or just want it a little fancy. I seldom use the same thread for a whole quilt. I'm currently quilting an embroidery quilt and used RA Rayon for the feathers, and Star Merch for SITD and stippling. Then in one of the borders I followed the grid lines that were in the fabric and used RA Rayon for that. I almost always use Star Merch or Signature in the bobbin. Signature works great and is less linty than Star Merch, but sometimes the selection of colors at my LQS isn't the best. I love quilting with my Juki, do you have yours on a frame or table? Mine is on a table, I made one of those cheap quilt tables and really really love it.

awesome set up gail.
thread- just be sure the top thread and bottom are the same. Mine likes both the same. I use all kinds of thread- it hasn't given me any problems yet- Coats & Clark, Common Threads, even Joann fabric cones of $2.99 thread (which I buy about 8 at a time when they are sale for $1.00)
