    Tension issues? Watch this...

    Sometimes it's all about thread delivery! I learned alot watching this, and very rarely have problems anymore.

    Good video - thanks! I did think what she said about the weighted thread stand was funny. I bought one from Superior Threads and it rattles around like an old truck - not so much with cones but with spools. I think I'm going to glue it down to something heavy.

    I glued small washers to the bottom of mine then put cork shelf lining on it. It purrs very quietly now !LOL and doesn't dance around.
