Eyelashes are when the thread o the back is very loose, and long. I have that problem occasionally, and have to remind myself not to do turns to fast. That is where they usually happen to me. Like I told one gal at the retreat, the biggest thing when FMQ is hands slower than needle. You just have to find that sweet spot that works for you. Oh yeah, I am not a fast as it can go FMQer either. More of a medium fast, lol.
