This was exactly my problem on a quilt I just finished this morning! Lots of feathers, tension issues around the edges of just some of them. I'll certainly try your suggestions - thank you Lauren!!

[@BoldNotionQuilting]

good luch!

[@angelagillard3508]

Wow! I needed this. Couldn’t work out what sometimes my stitches look like a continuous line of thread instead of individual stitches. Off to the machine to see if I can fix this problem. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@aprilscraftroom]

Thank you for that info - I always wondered how a stitch was formed. I thought it was magic. LOL. I've received my Freddy and am setting him up this weekend. I can't wait to get started.

how amazing!

[@shelbycosgrove3666]

Had anyone had a tension issue where it looks like both the top and bottom stitches look loose?
