About

Some threads run smoothly, and some threads are pesky to sew with. Learn how to balance the bobbin tension to the top tension for smoother running threads. Discover how thread age and condition affect thread and find the right running speed for different thread types. You have invested a great deal into your threads of different colors and weights from cotton to decorative threads such as metallics. Because threads basically behave the same way on both traditional sewing machine and long arm quilting machines, no matter what type of machine you use, learn step by step how to adjust for those different thread weights and sizes, choose the right needle eye and needle size, find the right thread path and thread guide adjustments, and understand cone and spool positions for proper unspooling. View up close 15 different thread types. Learn their characteristics and how to run them according to how they react to needle sizes, bobbin tension, and bobbin thread. When you are curious about thread weights, needle sizes, and other topics, this course is here for reference.
