Taking the stress out of Longarm tension

This was posted on one of my yahoo frame quilting groups. They have since put the link in their files.

his video was very informative and exactly how I test my tension, my only difference is instead of a pin to clean out the lint on the bobbin finger, I uses a slip of paper....thinner than needle but does not invade that area, just cleans out any lint--and there usually is a dot of it..........
Off topic......why do men nowadays insist on wearing grunchy baseball caps everywhere, at all times...........I really want to rip them off men's heads when I am eating in a restaurant and I see one........My son in law tried it once in my house.......doesn't do it any longer...removes hat at door.....I was raised that way...I guess I really am old-fashioned.....Now I am beginning to see women do the same thing.....wearing a "hat" that much will cause hair loss...........not "hide" it!!!!!

I want to give an update on the tension video. About 10 Bailey owners (myself included) have tried this. All have had great success w/it. Some thought their tension was good before, but are surprised to find that it's even better now.
