He told me then that using 2 layers of batting sometimes will solve the tension issues. Plus once you've washed the quilt it also will help with the bobbin thread showing on the top and vice versa. Haven't tried it yet but will soon. Can't get rid of this Hobbs bolt fast enough. May have gotten a bad bolt as some folks swear by Hobbs 80/20. This was my 1st.............and last time ordering it. Will go back to my Quilter's Dream 80/20 or 70/30, can't remember which size offers 120 x 30yds.

contact Hobbs and let them know- they will most likely replace it. I had a problem with some of their batting and they replaced it for me, no problem.
