At the Risk of Repeating Myself . . .

This tension is not quie happy and consequently neither am I!

This is the underside of my quilt:
It's not all loopy and crazy like it was the other day, but the little red points you can see in between the white stitching is actually the thread from the topside. The fact that it's visible on the underside means that it's being pulled down too far. So either the top tension is too loose or the bottom tension is too tight.

I've fiddled with it a bit and increased the top tension a couple of notches and it's not too bad now. But I thought it was worth illustrating what "not quite right" looks like as compared with "really terrible" and "ok" which you've already seen.

. . . and I'm out of ice-cream!
