None of the other resources I consulted gave this information. Thank you so much!!
Glad it was helpful!
I didn't actually change the height of my presser foot, but you made me think that maybe using my ruler foot was causing the same sort of problem (even though I had just successfully finished making about 1000 pebbles using the ruler foot). As soon as I changed to my darning foot, everything worked perfectly.
Hi Kim. I love how you get to the point and have really helpful videos. Your info on feet is great. With the topic of thread breakage or shreding, i frequently find students who dont know that needles get problems when they havn't been changed for a long time. Sometimes even for years. I tell them that needles are not precious heirlooms, so change them frequently.
I love that analogy. I find it so interesting that sewists seem to resist changing their needles - as if they were the most expensive part of this hobby ;)
Thank you. I just got a Janome Skyline 7, and am figuring out this free-motion quilting. Your tips are a big help!
Glad it was helpful!
Good tips! Thank you. I also want you to know that your blouse was so cute. I wish I could have seen the rest. You know what they say, "imitation is the highest form of flattery." But since I couldn't see the whole blouse, I will rejoice in the quilting tips. I have had some problems with shredding and now I know why. Love your program to the moon.
It's actually a t-shirt with a shrug over top that I can tie if I wish to do so. Thanks!
Thank you so much. I lowered the foot height and no more skipped stitches or broken thread. I have been struggling with these issues for a long time. So glad I found your post. Tks again, Jenni in Au
Glad it helped!
You saved my sanity. Thanks for this info. I have a Pfaff but this worked wonders for me and thread stopped shredding.
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much. This issue has been driving me batty lol
Great video!! Quick, concise with a wealth of helpdul info on FMQ.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm using a ruler foot (on a floating fmq setting) that is made for my Husq. Was doing fine last session but shredding no matter how slowly I go this time. Changed needle, retreaded top and bobbin (repeatedly) but I don't think i can a adjust foot height 😢 Nevertheless itsno different from last time
Me too. Not the needle, not the thread, new machine, no needle plate burrs. Happens when I go backwards (no matter how slowly or quickly) when using the Husq ruler foot. Using the 'FMQ floating' setting, there's no way to change presser foot height. The super frustrating thing is that it WAS working fine then this started with no real changes.
Change to the darning foot.
Kim what kind of table do you use for your machine?
I have different sewing machine tables in my studio. The Janome M7 is currently sitting on a stand-up desk table (recently changed to this) and I have another machine that is in a Sylvia cabinet (the M7 was sitting on top of this cabinet in this video but is to large to fit down into the cabinet).
Hi Kim
When I free motion motion quilting my thread nests, not at the beginning but halfway through, any ideas?
There can be a few reasons. If you are using a Janome machine, I suggest you use the blue dot bobbin case, if you aren't already using this. This lower tension bobbin case helps to keep everything going smoothly when free motion quilting. Also, check your top tension - if it is a bit too loose, this can cause top thread to nest on the back. Hopefully it is one of these issues and you'll soon be stitching along smoothly!
You do not need to leave your feed dogs up when using your glider it will get chewed up. You need to engage your thread after putting in new spool. remove glider. Add new spool. make few stitches on spare practice piece. When stitches are good, drop feed dogs then do more stitches with feed dogs down. If equal to previous ones break thead, add glyder and tension is now engaged and feed dogs down doing no harm to your glide mat chris Hunt North Wales. PS mine was doing the same till I did the aforementioned. that cured it.
Thanks for the information. Typically when free motion quilting you do lower your feed dogs although some machines seem to work better with them up. The Sew Slip II that I use has a large cut out area so there is no problem with the feed dogs damaging it if they are up.
Which machine was this please?
This is the Janome MC9450

Where you’re m7 shock horror. Lol 😦😦😦
I have trouble with skipped stitches and thread breaking when stitching from side to side no matter how slowly I go. No problem when going forward and backward. So what's going on?
I'd check your foot height first as this is typically the cause of thread breakage. Also, make sure you are using the right size needle for your thread weight and that you are using good quality, new(er) thread.
Thank you. Turned out it was the foot after all. I had placed a rubber band over the spring hopping foot to make it float. When I tried hopping foot that wasn't altered, it sewed like a dream. I'm sticking with the hopping foot from now on.

Kim, 'when to know when it's not "me!" when I try to get my M7 to function!
When do I need to 'take her in for service!?:
"Is it me or my Janome M7!?"
'when even your tutorials, followed to the tee, don't make a diff--and, she even gets worse!
'did I answer my 'own question!?
Regardless, tell-tale signs our beloved M7 needs a doctor visit!?
