Default Long Arm whine

Sigh, I am so frustrated with my long arm right now,

I have been struggling with the tension that evil little monster. I finally get the tension right and the darned thread breaks. sigh, I am not sure what I am doing wrong here.

I have an innova 22in long arm.
am using Superiors Rainbows in top, and Connecting threads Essential Cotton in the bottom.
am using a new size 18 needle.

I started out with eyelashes in the bottom, so I tightened up the top, saw eyelashes on top, so loosened a little on top and tightened bobbin, saw eyelashes on bottom, so tightened top...now thread breaks...

Am doing a simple pantograph. along with beating my head against the wall.......tension is an evil little monster!
