A new day is sometimes all it takes.

To save a lot of seam ripping on the actual quilt I try to have extra space with sandwiched scrap fabric pinned beside the quilt on my long arm that I test stitch until the tension is perfect, if I'm having issues.

Keep tweaking. Sometimes it can take a lot of adjusting, then again it can quilt perfect for a long time without any changes in either the top or bottom tension.

I have a Nolting Fun Quilter and have been fortunate most of the time. I like having the spare space to test the tension on before I start the quilt.

Get some rest and good luck in the morning.
