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 -

Oh my, that would frustrate me to no end. I hope you get the tension sorted out.
Oh boy. You sound way calmer than I would be, but I suppose you can edit out the frustration. Make sure everything is threaded properly. Seems like a no brainier there, but always good to check the easy stuff first!
I hate tension issues. On my new machine, I have not mastered it yet. It is good in spurts.
