Am having a frustrating time trying to quilt my son't quilt....

The bobbin thread is mostly lying on the back, like the top thread isn't pulling it down snug? Hard to explain.
I've just cleaned and oiled it all, changed upper thread, and put in a different bobbin. It's still sewing the same way. :roll: I've never messed with the tension, never had to before. It's an old White regular sewing machine. But now I'm wondering if one of the grandkids did? The tension is on 5.5 now, and I think that's where it's always been.

Also, those of you who have the Flynn type frame - how do you keep your PVC support pieces (the pieces the frame rests on, under the quilt) from going cockeyed/cross ways on the table, while your quilting? I had the same issue when I was using the blocks of wood under it. Now I have 3" pieces of PVC, 3' foot long.

Thanks so much for any help or ideas you might have!!!
:D
