A Quilter's Choice - APQS West

When I am helping a quilter troubleshoot tension, I do not just look at the top thread. I look at the bobbin too.

The bobbin, bobbin case, backlash spring, and bobbin tension all play a part in how your stitch forms. In this video, I walk through what those parts do and why they matter on a longarm machine. If your stitches are not looking right, the bobbin area is always worth checking.
