Thanks Angela. Super helpful to those of us that are new to longarming or magnetic bobbins.

[@ThreadWaggle]

You are so welcome!

Didn’t know about how the tension knob has a way to gage the starting point of the top tension!

[@ThreadWaggle]

That was a game changer when someone showed me that years ago.

Can you talk some more about tension? While using Quilt Path on my Millie, my tension looks perfect except for very small sections in different directions where I get flat lining. What should I adjust? What causes this?

[@ThreadWaggle]

Rose, do you have the book from your beginner's class handy? Things that can cause directional tension start on page 17. I would be looking to make sure my hopping foot is level, that my machine is threaded correctly, is the sandwich tension where I want it.
