You really have to wonk around with tension with a serger. I love that you made two of these, you are so motivated Cindy! Do let us know if you fudge the tension for the next project - I wonder if it will make a difference?Rebecca Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06338059543165541467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55779963649069005.post-80395998366777392082011-10-20T05:12:38.937+01:002011-10-20T05:12:38.937+01:00You are inspiring me with your "real" po...You are inspiring me with your "real" posts - I can see that it's not as easy as some people make it look!

Last time was an epic disaster. The bobbin thread was a huge wad on the back side of what i thought was looking pretty okay on the front. I watched a U-Tube video (or 4) on how to do it, and it said maybe I would have to loosen my thread tension.. no I had to turn my tension up to 7 to get things looking right.. Wut?? Who cares it is looking better!! Now to get my hands working with my brain better.Mommarockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551129981851834217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55779963649069005.post-25391788776301896522011-10-16T14:58:14.398+01:002011-10-16T14:58:14.398+01:00How about Bamboo forest - it looks quite an easy o...How about Bamboo forest - it looks quite an easy one!?<br /><br /><br />You have quite a few suggestions to choose from !??Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12437815900953193788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55779963649069005.post-32714857655707530842011-10-15T18:09:14.165+01:002011-10-15T18:09:14.165+01:00Let's do Superstar next! http://freemotionquil...Let's do Superstar next! http://freemotionquilting.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-330-superstar.html The design was just posted today!
