MY 730 IS NOT THE BOSS OF ME and MY NIECE IS HAVING A GIVE-AWAY!

I'm learning that I can make my sewing machine work for me -- that I can be in charge. I don't have to be afraid of it.

This picture is what the underside of my embroidery looked like after I had my machine cleaned and checked out. ( I don't think the tech did a great job checking the bobbin tension)
I stitched out some capital I's -- actually, just partially stitched them out -- just enough to tell if the there was a change. The bobbin thread is white and you can see that there is not any bobbin thread showing.






I made small adjustments to the upper tension and then the bobbin tension -- tried about 12 times as you can see from this photo. The boxed I is what the embroidery is supposed to look like. You should see 1/3 color - 1/3 bobbin - 1/3 color. The horizontal/slanted I's are ones I did to test it out some more.





I think I won't be afraid of making small changes to my bobbin tension when it needs it. The changes are made by turning a small screw in the bobbin case. The trick is to make the changes in small increments and know where you started in case you need to reverse your changes.
