I make a 12" quilt sandwich using whatever batting my customers are using. I run this sandwich through to check the tension when I begin sewing and with every bobbin change. Other than that I do what others do by crawling underneath with a flashlight and listening for sound changes in the machine...lol

Well, it's good to know that I am in good company with the flashlight and the crawling. :) Because of one comment on the board, I did try putting my 12 X 15 mirror on the shelf (where the pantos go) and I can see there, too. It was a DUH moment....why didn't I think of that? So, if I get one of those shop lights that someone else mentioned, I think I'm in business. :) Thanks everyone, you're always sooo helpful!! So glad I found this forum!! I sure do use a lot of "need to be quilting time" on here, though.

I don't have a long-arm, but got to thinking maybe one of those security mirrors that they use to look under cars with and did a search and look what I found - very reasonably priced, too. http://www.security-mirrors.com/inspection-mirrors

I check tension on a scrap and check the sides also as well as checking when I roll the quilt.
