Hi Lisa,
There are several things we need to know in order to help.
1. What design? Is it a purchased logo like Dakota Collectibles....or one
someone digitized? Remember that Dakota designs are "bullet proof" meaning they
don't know what you will be sewing it on so they beef up the design. You can
almost always take out at least 10% of the stitches and often more for the
design to sew well. Did you resize the design? Most of the time never resize
more than 20%.
2. If there is "loft" to the blanket, you need to put the presser foot down
tight enough to compress the blanket---take all the air out of it. The purpose
of the presser foot is to hold the fabric down so when the needle comes up, it
holds the fabric down...no flagging.
3. Auto tension should work just fine.
4. Be sure your bobbin tension is set so you have to give a snap with your
wrist to get the bobbin to drop 5-6 inches. Amayas like a bobbin set just a
bit tight.
5. Be sure you have good, sharp needles in and not turned to the left AT ALL.
Check this by using a magnifying glass and look at the groove down the front of
the needle. Either straight forward or 5-10 degrees to the right.
6. BE SURE you have lubed your machine and the bobbin area is free of all lint
and dust. Also clean out from under your leaf spring on the bobbin case with
the corner of a piece of paper.
Hope these suggestions help.
