Moderator Wizcrafts Posted December 1, 2015 Moderator Report Posted December 1, 2015 Since you are now using a minimum needle size for the thread, I would reduce the bobbin tension first and increase the top second. Less tension on the bottom makes it easier to pull the knots up. Just make sure there is a little back tension on the thread.

Members Viking Queen Posted December 2, 2015 Author Members Report Posted December 2, 2015 Issue resolved....much thanks to you all. I finally got in touch with David at leather machine company who very patiently walked me through recallibrating the tensioners again, then coached me on setting proper tension for upper thread and slightly changing bobbin tension. After I texted him a photo of the sample stitches he confirms that it's now properly adjusted. It sews like a dream again! Thank you all for your input and help....I learned much from this experience. Now I have some projects to sew! Viking Queen Quote
