Hello! I'm fairly new to quilting but have made a tablerunner, table topper and another little placemat-sized project so far and have machine-quilted them myself.......with much difficulty and not such great results on the back of the projects. I have a very "plain Jane" Janome sewing machine with just a few stitches and had to buy a "generic" walking foot for it for straight line quilting but for the free-motion I bought one of the special feet just for that. However, I cannot find anything that tells what settings....i.e. tension & stitch length....to use when using these 2 different feet. The stitching on top of my projects looks fine but on the back, the threads look kind of like they are just sitting on top of the fabric and some are very "loose" looking. I realize it takes alot of practice to get the whole stippling thing perfected but I really suspect that my machine is not set at the right numbers to begin with. Can anyone please share with me what those settings should be? Also, this walking foot that I ordered and have been using seems to go along just fine for a few inches and then all of a sudden it just "tightens down" and actually CAUSES wrinkles instead of preventing them, as it is supposed to do. Very frustrating! It's brand new so I think it must also have something to do with my settings perhaps. Thanks for any advise/tips you can offer.
