Tension problems with Singer Featherweight
 
I am having issues with my FW tension. :mad:I don't know if it's the top tension or bobbbin. When I sew it ruffles up, bottom looks o.k. but top is pucker and pulled very tight. I have been trying to correct all afternoon. Any help would be appreciated.:thumbdown:

Are you using the same weight thread in the bobbin as in the upper thread?

Thanks so much for posting this. I was able to get the tension correct. The thread weight seemed to be the problem.:thumbup:
