Geri B,
I have a Pfaff P3 w/10 ft table. Do you clamp all three layers? I was doing this and was told it was wrong to include the top.
Also, I had my quilt wrapped more tightly and I wondered if this was stretching the top. I read somewhere that you should be able to easily grasp (from the top side) a finger poking up from beneath. As mine was too tight to do that, I started to loosen it - maybe I should go back to tighter?
Thoughts????
