You are the FIRST person of all the hundreds of videos on FMQ that I’ve watched that talked about feed dogs UP. I was having HORRIBLE eyelash issues (dogs down) and after watching this video, I went back to my machine, raised them up and VOILA! No more eyelashes. If I could reach thru this iPad and kiss you I would but instead 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋💋 I am for sure a big time beginner with FMQ. I’d always paid a lady to finish all my quilts so I bought a great Babylock two months ago and now I’m not afraid anymore because of you and your simple suggestion, feed dogs down. Thank you soooooooo much

I was told when I purchased my Eden Rose machine is to leave the feed dogs up when doing free motion. My machine does not like aurfil as it breaks no matter what I do even after servicing . It is very frustrating. My machine love kIng tut and superior threads. I have been sewing many years and never had this problem.

Have you used Aurifil 40wt for much applique? Your thoughts, tips and words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Helpful info, thanks. Would be great if you mentioned both imperial and metric sizing of needles when you talk about them so we can follow along 😃
