Balancing tension with red as a bobbin and white as a top LAQ
Hi,
I have an Innova long arm machine which I just love. I usually use the same color bobbin as the top thread but this particular quilt has a red backing with some white embroidered squares on the front. I have tried for hours to balance the tension of the two threads but to no avail. I have gotten to the point that the white thread on top shows no red dots but at that the red underneath does indeed have the little white dots from the top thread.
I have a note in to my Innova rep but was wondering if anyone had any hints for me prior to hearing from her.
I remember one of the programs by a long arm professional saying "what would you see on the back if you were hand quilting?" I guess that was her way of saying how hard it is to use both.
