CaliMom Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I just quilted a small wall hanging which was full of fusible web applique and I used spray baste for the first time and I noticed a problem on the back of the quilt. Underneath appliques there are occasional loops and allover thread looks a bit loose. In the sections without the applique and web the tension is perfect. I have tried to tighten upper tension and the thread breaks so I have again backed it off and again am seeing this loose thread and a few loops. ANy ideas?

SandraC Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 I have used the spray baste once on a quilt...it was a round wallhanging and I stuck it onto the batting once the back and battings were loaded. It worked out great, so I can't imagine that being the problem ( unless you used a ton of it, maybe that would be a problem ). I have also hand-quilted with it a number of times and couldn't even notice a difference. Sandra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliMom Posted July 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 I am leaning toward blaming the applique fusible web... Steam a Seam 2. I don't think I will try to quilt through it again, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlene Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hi, I would look at the size of the needle you are using. Might need a bigger eye. Also make sure it is a new needle and if it seems to become sluggish or gummed up, change it. Charlene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
