Every once in a while I come across a good article explaining top and bottom tensions on sewing machines. This is a great one that is easy to understand.

Hopefully this will help those who a just starting out making their own gear.
Enjoy!
I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, "I'm going to mop the floor with your face." I said, "You'll be sorry." He said, "Oh, yeah? Why?" I said, "Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well."

Good read. Thanks for posting.
Wish I'd seen that link prior to last night & this afternoon. I've been struggling with broken needles, horrible stitching & jammed bobbins while making a pair of tree huggers. Eventually got them made but the stitching is pretty dreadful <sigh>.
