Default Frustration at Max....6600 tension issues....again!

Can you see me banging my head on the wall in frustration? I just took my machine in for a good cleaning and to fix tension problems on January 31 and now she is back to the same tricks. It does fine on straightline stitching, but fmq is another story. The stitches look good on top, but on the bottom there is eyelashing. Adjusting the tension dial makes very little difference in eyelashing. I am using the blue marked bobbin case and Connecting Threads 50 wt. thread top and bottom. Is there anyone else out there who has any experience with this problem? I am very reluctanct to take it back to the same place for repairs when he basically said it was because I was using too heavy thread. Really? There has to be another reason....a $1500 machine should be able to handle different weights of thread.
