Question about thread

[sacredspiralcreation]

Hi my names Shannon. I just joined this group and have a question. I make cloth menstrual pads and a lot of my designs have differnt colors on the top and bottom. So is it possible to use a different bobbin color for the underside and not have it seen on the top? I have tried and the bottom looks good but I can always see the bobbin color on the top. Is this a tension issue or just the way it works. Thank you!!!

Hi Shannon

It's always best to use the same color on top and in bobbin. It's just the way it is. The bobbin color will always show on top.

Most likely a tension issue.

I know it IS possible, but will take some fiddling and experimentation - great use for scraps!

Adjust the top (above the bed) tension rather than the tension screw on the bobbin case itself (below the bed) - mainly because it's a colossal pain to adjust bobbin tension.
