Hi Carol, Your machine may be a bit like mine. From my last service a month or two ago I read on the report that the timing is set up differently depending on what the machine is doing, so for example my machine (Husqvarna Viking Sapphire 960Q) has different timing for standard woven stitching, stitching stretch fabrics and also for FMQ. My machine almost constantly needs resetting due to the timing in FMQ and sometimes the stretch doesn't make stitches either, but the piecing side of things is still excellent. I've had to have mine restore to factory settings twice in a year so far because I do use it quite a lot. I'm not going to buy a Husqvarna again! I'd suggest taking it in for a service now that you've gone through the motions of rethreading the machine, changing needle, etc and hopefully that will help. Not cheap though! |

Great work Lexy and Margaret- that effect is mesmerising if you stare at it too long! Very clever. |

Wow that is a great effect and a bit too clever for me! I've bookmarked it to try and get my head around it later! |

Well done Margaret, worth it in the end! I have one of those projects going on at the moment which needs complete precision which is making me procrastinate and grumble and unpick…. and it's my own pattern! Not so fun at the time but worth it in the end. |

Wow, well done Carol! Anyway I've kind of cheated and I have turned one of my quilt UFOs into a cushion (the Doughnuts one). I've started a couple more projects in the meantime... |

Wow thanks everyone! It's a nice project to snip and glue in front of the TV of an evening. I semi-trace the design on paper from a photo on screen that I use as a lightbox, improvising a bit if I need to, then scan and print it out full size and cellotape loads of sheets of paper together, then I trace that onto freezer paper. I tend to just rab and guess fabrics as I go and get a surprise as I peel the finished bit of freezer paper away... |

Maria- yeah I'm with you on that. Hank isn't allowed on the sofa.... unless my husband is out and only if I am also on the sofa and he doesn't wiggle too much or bring a toy on. He does understand all of the criteria though so we've had a good thing going for a few months now. Which means he's asleep with head on my lap most evenings and then I have to quickly get the lint roller out when himself comes home.... oops. I forgot to lint roller this morning and he's home before me so I'm hoping we haven't been rumbled. |

My puppy Hank is coming up to being one. I used to be able to scoop him up under my arm and he was the cutest thing I've ever seen... But now he's 23kg! He loves quilts, especially diving on my lap (yes really) whilst I'm quilting. This is my excuse for wonky quilting and seam allowances anyway.... |

Welcome! Some people say you should stitch in the ditch to stabilise before doing an all over FMQ pattern anyway..... I am not one of those people :D I'd be tempted to do a cross hatch or something, using the seams as a guide. I'm personally not very good at staying in the ditch though so that's my cop out approach! |
