Default Darn Bobbins!!!!

I was quilting away on a halloween panel with my longarm, totally in my zone and I felt a slight pop did a few more stitches and then checked my stitches top and bottom and everything look fine. Well half of my panel later the bobbin tension got way OFF so I guess I will begin the long process of ripping these darn stitches out!!!! I refuse to let my machine win this battle and I will prepare for round two!!!

I hear you. I just spent the better part of two days quilting on my longarm and having to rip out stitches of one complete row of pantogragh stitching. " I will not let the machine get the better of me..." It's good to know I'm not alone.

Ripping out stitches is like torture. I like to use a slightly shorter stitch to sew blocks together. I think they hold better--no proof of that just my opinion. That makes it harder to rip. I also hate removing all those little pieces of thread. Just torture!!

Agree, seems like I always have a date with the ripper.

I did the same thing on Saturday. I don't understand why the tension changed so suddenly.
