dianne Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Hi everyone, So there I am basting the sides of my quilts as I move down the quilt and every once in a while the tension goes "off" - the top thread is loose and poking thru to the back and the bottom thread seems to be normal. If I tug on the top thread I can pull inches of it up. This only happens when I am basting........ What's that all about??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LibbyG Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I wish I knew because it started happening to me. Angela told me to baste in manual mode. That did solve the problem, but I liked doing it the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilted charm Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I've never had good luck basting. Same problem. Big loops of top thread, but if I change back to regular stitching, it works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
