Lisa Crowley Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I am very frustrated and wondering if anyone has had the same problem and could give me some insight..... I am working on a quilt for someone and the backing is fairly tight woven and stiff. It is 100% cotton. I have a brand new needle on my Lenni, when I started quilting I could hear the popping as I quilted and the machine sounds louder than usual. I think it would help to adjust the tension since I seem to be getting "eyelashes" on the front but I'm not sure which way to go and with what???? Any suggestions would be much appreciated!!!

Primitive1 Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 It sounds like the fabric has not been washed and has lots of sizing still in it. I would treat it like a batik, make sure your needle is sharp, loosen up your quilt on the frame and tighten up your bobbin a little and loosen up your top thread to fix the eyelashes...see if that helps.

Lisa Crowley Posted April 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Thanks for the advice. I did exactly as you had suggested and it worked like a charm. Finished the quilt and it looked great. So glad I have this forum with so many experienced quilters. Thanks again, Lisa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
