I agree wit the others on things to do. I would like to ad that anytime my longarm tension is impossible to adjust because it keeps alternating between too tight and too loose on the same project the problem is a spring that needs replaced. You have to do some detective work to figure out which spring it is. Sometimes I replace them one at a time until I find the culprit. Good luck. I think that's the most aggravating aspect of longarmming.
