Let's talk about tension and how to get those perfect stitches.

When free motion quilting you may need to adjust the tension to suit the thickness of the quilt sandwich or you
may want to use different threads. When the tension is correct, your stitch forms so that the top thread and the bobbin thread join and rest in the middle of the quilt sandwich.

If the top thread is too tight, the top thread pulls the bobbin thread to the top of the quilt
sandwich. To fix, loosen the top thread tension or tighten the bobbin thread.

If the bobbin thread is too tight, the top thread is pulled to the bottom of the quilt sandwich. To fix, loosen the bobbin thread or tighten the top thread.
