Jamie Wallen on you tube explains tension on a quilt top very well. He is a longarmer but tension in the quilt sandwich is the same. I love to FMQ so I hope you will get things straightened out. I know we don't like to touch our dials but take a deep breath and just do it. Do it slowly, not much of a turn at a time. Your quilting design looks so good so I am hoping you will learn to love it too.

WeeFi suggested slowing down. We do not have to FMQ running the machine as fast as it can go.

Oh I hope all works out. I am so thrilled for you that you are doing this. FMQ is just another wonderful outlet for your creativity.
