I so hate my longarm machine. :( I have gone over and over the tension and it is just not sewing well.
I have loosened the bobbin until it flows so free that there is NO resistence yet still, the bobbin thread is lying on the bottom and the top thread is poking through the back. I have tightened the top thread until I can hardly pull it yet the stitches are loose on the top!!
I don't like feeling this way. I hate, hate hate quilting!!!!
Edited to add... Yes, I am about in tears.

Well, the machine with a mind of it's own is now doing OK but it's touch and go and seems to just screw up for no reason.
I got done all the way to the other border this evening! After I do this end I need to turn the quilt and do the sides.
