I finished a quilt last summer and the stitching was beautiful with that tension. In trying to rule everything out, I re-attached the all purpose foot and the stitches are fine. When I attach the walking foot, they go loose. I started to adjust the tension and when I do, my bottom thread starts showing on the top and the bottom thread is still loose! Ughhh! I know my walking foot is attached right. I have went back and watched videos just for giggles to make sure I didn't miss something obvious. I can't figure this out. Any help would be awesome! I would really like to finish this quilt!
Not the thread tension that should be readjusted...it's the foot one.......on both my babylock and Viking there is a knob that controls the foot tension...default on both is 6 when using walking foot it is changed to 4 ......that is what the directions that came w/ foot recommended....thread tensions should remain as default.....
