Hi,

I am hoping someone else in the group has this Singer Model. I recently purchased this machine and I do love the way it sews, but I am having major issues with the free motion quilting aspect. I cannot get the tension correct -- the tension is fine when I sew regular, but not when I attempt to FM quilt.

I am new to FM quilting and bought the machine to learn, but so far I can get the stitches on top correct, but underneath is a hot mess!!! Any suggestions?? I have played with the tension, to no avail.

I read somewhere that I should have the pressure foot down, but when I put it down, the machine makes a horrific clunking noise. It works fine with the pressure foot up, and I do have the feed dogs down... so I give up.

Chalking it up to being new at it, and really needing help!!

Thanks

Jayne
