Tension troubles
#1
![Default](/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Can somebody please help me? I have a Janome 6019 machine. I am trying to do some straight piecing and my tension is driving me crazy!
I have tried all the regular tricks. I rethreaded the machine, top and bottom, with the presser foot up. I cleaned out underneath the bobbin where it was full of lint. I changed my needle. I tried adjusting the tension wheel. I tried using a larger thread to clean between the tension disks on the top of the machine. Nothing is helping! My top stitches are still showing through on the bottom and making 'eyelashes.' I have always been able to fix it when is has done this in the past but I'm getting very frustrated that nothing seems to be working this time.
