I’m quilting the white squares on a quilt where the back is navy. I’m trying to use navy for the back thread & white for the front, but the back keeps pulling through. In the picture below, I did the top third with a 90/14 needle, and it got better when I switched to a 75/11 needle, but you can still see the navy thread peeking through occasionally. I’ve thought of playing around with the tension; is there anything else you can think of that could help solve this issue?

Depending on your machine you may be able to adjust the bobbin tension. As mentioned loosening the top my help but... I or no one else I know has ever gotten satisfactory results using different colored threads top and bottom. Commercial longarmers always use the same color front and back for a reason. Hope this helps.You gots to risk it to gets the biscuit-
