    on: October 10, 2011, 08:50:20 AM
    I'm having a problem with machine quilting....My problem is that the thread comes apart when I finish quilting....How do I keep the thread from coming apart once I'm finish Huh  A while back I took a machine quilting class and them never really used the technique... if anyone can help knows what I'm doing wrong....

      Hmm...sounds like maybe it's a tension problem.  Are you using a darning foot?  If you are, you usually need to adjust the tension. I would get a sample of the quilt sandwich (just make one out of scraps about 6" square) and just try adjusting the tension until you find what works.  If that doesn't help, you could email me a pic of the problem and your machine set-up, and I could try to help you out.
