Just wantd to pop back in & thank you all for your comments, suggestions & sympathy. I've spent the past hour adjusting the bobbin tension. MadQuilter, I kind of did what you suggested. I wrote on my muslin sandwich just what top tension I was using. So far, nothing is really helping. At first I was actually getting the eyelashes on top. That was a switch! Anyway, I think I'll start fresh tomorrow. Right now I have a terrible headache & feel like I'm starting to hate this machine & I really, really don't want to feel that way. But dang it, I got the machine because I wanted to sew, not be a mechanic! Again, thanks for listening to my childish outburst. I think my headache is better.
