Make up a practice sandwich with the same ingredients as your quilt. Hold the mustard. Using the same weight thread you are planning on using in your final quilt, load a bobbin with one color and thread the top with another color, ideally you want colors that you will be able to easily see on your practice piece. Now adjust the tension so that you have an even stitch and you don't see the top thread on the back or the bobbin thread on the top. Write down your starting tension and first try to just use the top tension adjustment only. If you see the bobbin thread on the top, try loosening your top tension. If you see top thread on the back, tighten the top. If necessary, make minute adjustments to your bobbin case, again after noting the original setting. Although the no thread showing on the other side is ideal, it is pretty hard to achieve, so just get as close as you can. This is why most people use the same color thread in the top and bobbin.
