Hi day everyone,

The problem that I am having is that the thread on the bottom of the quilt seems to be to loose.

I have a Euro-pro sewing machine and I do not know what the thread length and width, and tension should be set at. If anyone can help me please. I sure will appreciate any advice anyone can give me.

Take Care,

Mary (stitchengramie)

Tension is different with different fabric thickness. Do you have your machine manual? Usually there are directions with pictures to tell you which way you need to adjust your tension. Practice on a small scrap quilt sandwich till you get the correct tension.

Totally agree, plus, rewind bobbin, make sure it is threaded right, and that the foot is on right. Maybe a new needle? Different thread?

Sounds like your tension needs to go up a tad. Get a practice sandwich, same batt as your quilt adn experiment going up a click til it's right. Also, if you can adjust your foot pressure (check the manual) that might need to reduce slightly.
