[Northkeep] As you sew, so shall you rip-pit

[Mercedes/Stephanie]

Hey Amanda - are you getting the idea that it might be a tension
problem??????? :)  Seriously, do you have a manual for your machine?  I
believe when the thread is doing that on the bottom fo the fabric it is
actually because of the upper thread tension, not the bobbin thread.  If you
have not already, rethread the whole machine and try it again.  I f you've
tried that then you need to find out how to tension your upper
thread........some machines it is as simple as a little numbered wheel
somewhere inconspicuous on the machine - some are more difficult to
find.........
