Very happy to see there is something out there that will do a good job for a price i can afford. Did you have any bobbin tension issues last night?

Hi, Sorry for taking so long to get back to you on this question. Not a single bobbin tension issue when FMQ. I didn't even have to tweak the bobbin tension, it was already set the way I like it for FMQ when I got the machine. For FMQing on machines with a vertically oriented bobbin, like this one, I like for the bobbin case tension to be set so that I can insert the bobbin and then pick up the case using the bobbin thread and have the case just start to gently slide down the thread, if that makes sense. This one was like that when I got it. I don't know if the previous owner had adjusted it, or if that is the normal factory setting for this particular machine. At any rate, it's easy enough to adjust.
