    Default Hello frm Elkmont Alabama
    I have just been quilting for the last few months. This month i bought a sit down long arm machine. I've completed 3 quilts before I got the long arm on my Juki F300 and for practice this weekend worked on 2 baby quilts with the LAQ. I'm having issues with tension. I'm getting eyelashes on the back that the book says is because the top tension is too loose. This doesn't happen all the time and I haven't seen where increasing the tension has helped. Oh well I'm still learning.
    I'm glad I found this forum.
    Take care,
    Susan
