Walking foot

When I am quilting with my walking foot I am always making a quilting test before the actually quilting. I use a little piece of the fabric and the batting I am going to quilt. I am also setting the stitch length to about 4 or 5. Then when I make the test I can see if I need to adjust the tensions.

Seems like its always something silly, thank goodness. I was using one of the oversize spools and it became caught on a lever at the back of the machine.
thanks for all the help; we are just a great group of people here.
three cheers for us......... :D :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I have a walking foot for my Janome 315. It's not one of the super expensive varieties. I never adjust the tension. I do a test run first but I changed the length from a 2 1/2 to a 3/2 usually. When you fixed the loose spool did it fix the problem??

Yes it did; by being pulled it increased the tension. Just took a finger to set it straight.
I don't use a thread stand, I put a wood chop stic in the hole and then the big spools set on top of the machine. When threading a piece had looped behind the machine. Now works like a charm.
