Learned a valuble..and frustrating lesson today!
#27
I don't know if anyone else has had this problem and figured out like I did that it was indeed MY fault.
I discovered that when I am quilting, usually using my walking foot that I inadvertantly hit the tension knob when I am turning my quilts.
I had one that looked like this & I was very disappointed. Then noticed that my tension was WAY down. I have a sticky note on the front of my machine to remind me to check my tension frequently.
Happy Quilting, Susan

Ooh I agree that's tension and because of the long stitches it shouldn't take too long to remove but boy I know how frustrating that can be...been there and done that! ;) I have a little square from a practice sandwich I made that I keep by my sewing machine whenever I'm free motioning...just like I might check my tension for piecing evertime I start I will do a little practice squiggle on my scrap square just to make sure tension and everything is looking good. Gives me a little warm up too before I get started on my actual project. Good luck! ;)
