I knew it had to be something simple! My kenmore has been skipping stitches and the tension has just not been right. I pulled the manual out finally and read the part on tension again. NOTHING about the bobbin tension. So I was resigned to taking it in. Thing is is it would have to wait cause right now we are so broke. Then last night on the way to church it just randomly popped in my head how to fix it. I came home popped the accesory drawer off and turned that screw.....perfect tension! LillyBet also got a good cleaning last night. Of course I would fix it after I struggled to get Easter dresses for the girls done and spent weeks getting a free backup machine!

Sometimes it is just the simpliest things.
