I have always had trouble trying to figure out exactly how to adjust my tension. Wich way do you turn the knob to increase or decrease the tension . How does it affect it?.
Wich way to turn when your threads are popping up from behind?
Wich way do I turn the knob if the bottom threads are real loose?
Well scrolling thru Facebook this morning it al came clear to me when a lady posted this drawing on Life’s a quilt Facebook page. I dont know where this drawing came from but I sure thank the person who made it being a visual learning it makes more scence to me now..
Hope it clarifies things as much as it did for me.
I live by Mayerthorpe, Alberta Canada.A mother of 3. In my spare time I have 2 loves: Quilting and my horses these work well with the seasons. I started quilting when my oldest daughter was born 25+ years ago. I was making western shirts, when I quilt making those I had lots of bright cotton so I started making quilts. Over the last 17 years I have really gotten into it. I started taking an applique and a free motion class at my LQS. I'm now at the point where I no longer purchase Patterns. I've actually started designing my own. In 2015 I invested in EQ7 Quilt design program. In 2013 I purchased a HQ Sixteen on a 12 foot frame.

I believe the drawing is from Superior Threads website and thread materials.
