Wow! I have an older Millie that I have been cussing at the last few weeks. This video not only solved my current problem but I feel so much more confident with tension. Thank you for an easy to understand tutorial!!!
I have such a terrible situation with eye lashing *Millie 2024 machine) on the back of my quilt. I thought I had it fixed. I had to unsew 2 1/2 rows of e to e quilting. Reloaded the quilt after readjusting the top tension, bottom tension. Eyelashing on the back of the quilt after two rows of hand guided edge to edge quilting. However, I stopped checking the back of the quilt after two rows. HUGE MISTAKE. Eyelashing again and now I have a mega amount of unseeing to do. I had upgraded the head of my Millie in February. It’s been working like a dream until this quilt. Although I always clean away lint in the upper section and the lower bobbin area including blowing out the bobbin I haven’t tried two things. 1) using the business card on the bobbin and 2) using a net over my thread. My Eyelashing is mega long, about 1/4 inch. Wish me luck. Please publish any videos that address the threading of the upper portion when working with the newer Millie. Off to find the video I watched about upper threading equipped with the sensor for thread break or bobbin sensor. Thanks. Bobbie
My stitches look kinda like a very slight lightening bolt. Not like yours, that are really straight. Yours looks so good, even though you say they’re not just right. What could be the problem?
I have my Mille set for magna glide bobbins and Glide 40 on top and almost never have to do much adjustment. You did give a few new hints and I appreciate it!
Excellent information. Seeing how you determined your correct bobbin tension was extremely helpful. The idea to use 2 color threads has helped in the past. Seeing the stitches with a narrative clarified what good stitches should look like!

Excellent video and explanations Lauren! In particular it was great to learn the "factory" settings.

Great video. I do have a question. What if both your top and your bottom stitches look loose?
Thank you for the practical tips. Your style and delivery are very enjoyable. Keep making videos for us!
How do you do the “drop”test with the Magna Glide bobbins? Doesn’t the magnetic prevent the bobbin movement?
Would love to know this as well!
Me too!
no the magnet acts just as the backlash spring would!
