Re-doing -

 

 

The re-do - 

 

It feels like I'm back at square one - again - 

 

The tension is STILL wonky - 

 

On my Imperial Bargello - 

 

The YELLOW pokies don't look that bad -  

 

But the BLACK bobbin thread is STILL just sitting there - 

 

I've tightened the top tension in a couple of "full" turns - 

And a few "quarter" turns of the dial -

And STILL have tension problems - 

 

 

I didn't have much time to play with it  today - 

 

So I'll play with it more tomorrow - 

 

And start over AGAIN - 

 

Set the bobbin tension with the "drop test" - 

 

See what the TOWA gauge reads - 

 

Then adjust the top tension - 

 

Ignoring the number on the dial - 

 

I have a preconceived notion of what that number should be - 

 

And that's probably part of my problem - 

 

It doesn't really matter WHAT the number is - 

 

If the tension is good - 

 

And if the top tension gets too tight - 

 

I'll loosen the bobbin tension a little - 

 

And start over - again -

 

Or maybe it's time to change the needle - again - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
