Ok, I received this exact machine for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I decided to machine quilt my first quilt recently. I needed to free motion quilt it and when I did, the tension was waaaaaaaay off. I switched to a metal bobbin and increased the tension to an 8 just to get the tension almost right. What bothered me most was I could hear the tread stretching as I sewed and after a long time without cutting the tread, when I stopped, the thread would break because it was so tight. Even after a short section of free motion, whe i cut the thread it would be completely untwisted. How did you adjust your machine so it would free motion with the correct tension? What kind of thread do you use? I was using regular coats and clarke thread. I would love to be able to use this machine to free motion, but the tension issues are going to force me to use my old White machine. I didn't mean to hijack the thread, PM me if you can help me. Thanks.
