re: stretched thread on backing


Recommended Posts

my machine is a Gammill, 35 is a nice speed i thought, its a medium speed for me, smooth, The thread isnt laying the same up top. Under seems to be pulled with a stretching, i was hopping someone with a simular machine would hop in. I think I have to loosen my bobbin tension but have never had the need. I have cleaned aroundthe case, lint free, & will begin the ripping out today. I'm going to call the CO. as i have taken enough time waiting for a blessing. Thanks anyways. I was thinking of sending pis but not sure how to send them here. Cindaroo

Hi Cindaroo,

I think the APQS tension is a bit different from the Gammill tensioner system, but Bob Purcell of Superior Threads gives a pretty good explanation of what's going on with the tug of war between the top and bottom threads in this article: Thread Tug of War Every now and then when I get confused, I refer back to that. It has been a real sanity saver for me.
