LIVE & UNSCRIPTED! Free motion quilting a Topographical Meander

This REALITY SHOW is streamed LIVE and in real time, with viewer questions and interaction throughout.

I'm working on a lap-size scrap quilt, with a broad variety of colors.

A few topics:
how I choose a thread color
loading
simple basting
keeping the quilt square as I work
and a dilemma detailed below...

Because this was streamed LIVE, you get to watch me (and the viewers) work through a dilemma. When I inserted a new bobbin, I couldn't get a stitch to form. I worked my way systematically through various checks including the ones viewers were suggesting. And spoiler - the successful fix was entirely re-threading the top thread.

Here are the details of the quilt I'm working on:
