    • • • I've tried both links, and get the same response "private video". I've never had a problem with your videos, so I thought you would like to know.

    I learned this shape early in my longarm quilting career. It's one of my favorites! This filler can go almost anywhere.

    Question Thursday – or should I say "problem thursday"?
    I have some back to basics questions, but first you should know that I completed the "modern" quilt and sent it off. Now I'm working on finishing the quilting on a quilt I started 8 years ago and nearly done quilting it but I'm having some FMQ issues and I'd like them to stop with this quilt.
    I bought the Janome Horizon based on your recommendation a year or so ago and love it and I use Isachord thread and a size 75 (or sometimes bigger) quilting needle or sometimes one called Microtex sharp or something like that. I can see little dots of the top (beige)thread on the back and on the top I get dots of black (from the back)showing up at my "points" in the pointy quilting I've done. I imagine it is bobbin tension or top tension, but I'm not really sure how to adjust the bobbin or which way I should dial the top tension, if at all. I have tried it with dropped feeddogs and with feeddogs up – no difference. My bobbin thread isn't Isachord, it is a polyester and thin, like Isachord, but I made a mistake and bought some prewound bobbins and it wasn't Isachord…..so I don't know if that counts (I'll send you a couple if you like because I bought about 30 of them and you could try this problem out, if you would). Next problem – my needle frequently pokes holes in the fabric which you can see…they may wash out, but I don't like the "holey" look. Remember that I'm still trying to break my habit of quilting to tightly – so it is about 1/4-1/2".
    The only thing I haven't done yet, which you also recommend is put in bobbin washers…but I thought I'd email you to get on your problem thursday list. Lastly, I do have problems traveling and stitching in the ditch…I try to slow down but if I get distracted for a split second, my stitching goes off…I assume that will get better.
