I tried adjusting the tension wheel. I tried using a larger thread to clean between the tension disks on the top of the machine. Nothing is helping! My top stitches are still showing through on the bottom and making 'eyelashes.' I have always been able to fix it when is has done this in the past but I'm getting very frustrated that nothing seems to be working this time.
Have you found a solution to this problem, yet? I'm getting "eyelashes" on the bottom, too. I've adjusted both top tension and bobbin tension and nothing seems to help. When I sew a line of stitches it can vary between a decent bottom stitch and then some "eyelashes", decent stitches, and them more "eyelashes", etc.
