I have no idea.. maybe you can help me out with the answer?
But first it's time for this week's linky party
It's
Monday and a new week, so lets all share some of our projects, please link up
any current projects you've been working on, anything at all... This link
is open for a week and will run every Monday. Remember to come back next
week, or follow my blog to get regular updates.
If you
wish feel free to add any other blog posts you write during the week, since
this linky stays open for a full week, I think its a great idea to share and
keep sharing.
All I ask
is that you either add the 'Anything Goes' blog button
to your sidebar or add a text link to your
blog post, and comment on a few of the other links too, share the love and make
this weekly link party a fun way to connect.

I think this could be from some fluff in the bobbin...
I agree with your theory Marelize about the bobbin thread because there's 2 lines either side of the 'bird's nest' where the tension isn't sitting happyily but everything else is perfect. Looks like it was normal, started to loosen, created the nest, started to tighten, then was normal again. If ever I'm not happy with the evenness in the way a bobbin has wound (there's just something in the look of it or the sound of it as it's winding that gives me the clue) I wind it straight off onto another bobbin - there's nothing but issues with a badly wound bobbin!
So annoying when those birds'nests form, isn't it? I've often wondered if bobbin washers would help, but have never noticed any for domestic machines in the shops.
My idea was also the "nests" that appear inside the machine are too blame. If that is not it, please try to reset the computer of the sewing machine to factory settings. It work perfectly with my pucker problems. Good luck!

What lovely FMQ and what a shame about the birds nest, very frustrating! I think all the above advice sounds sensible. I hope you get on better with your next sewing session!
I agree about the bobbin winding. I have had that problem if a bobbin isn't wound evenly. If I don't catch it when I wind the bobbin, and I get these little bird's nests on the back, I switch the bobbin immediately. Good luck with it!!

I have been having the same problem and my machine is NEW, Janome, I really believe its the thread the store sold me, Because I changed it and it hasnt happend,,, something else occurred to me . My cutting device, my machine self cuts and one time I broke a needle in it. So, I asked a lady.. That has been quilting all her life, she was Longarming it at the time.. she said " Your machine is saying, " I dont like this Thread" "........
I see this every now and then, and it seems to me it's almost always when I'm FMQing on a smaller piece. My working hypothesis is that it's on pieces where I'm not holding the sandwich securely so it can get pulled a little down, sort of through the opening on the plate--where it messes with the tension and creates this weird event.
Not sure if that's it--the idea about the bobbin could be a good explanation. I just saw this yesterday on a long, narrow piece I was quilting for a quilt-as-you-go table runner. I normally never see this.
