Getting very frustrated. I am stitching on Plush fleece throws and having trouble with the trims a majority of the time. I have good ties in design (it is all a very open double fill (density at 22.0), new thread feed rollers and set at 115%, bobbin tension at a 2" drop, material thickness at 5 with a lower limit of three. Solvy on top and bottom, hooped in a magnetic hoop. At trim the bobbin thread pops back out of the pigtail and, of course, won't catch at the next color change. Maybe it is just the "elastic" nature of the plush fleece - won't hoop really tight? Do not have any trouble on other designs or fabrics.

When I stitch fleece I use wash away backing (valine) and no topping I do not need to change any of the default settings and everything stitches flawlessly.
and I stitch a lot of polar and infant fleece....

Okay, thanks for all tips....I finally got it to work. If I use tearaway/washaway backing will it actually wash out from underneath the bobbin on really open fills (density 25.0+)? And if it is trapped under the bobbin on back, will it get soft when washed or will it crinkle up and be irritating? This is the luxury plush fleece with a very high nap but I guess the nap doesn't count as material thickness does it?
