Quick sewing question (NEVER MIND!!)

I'm still newer to sewing and learning things as I go. I'm working on a quilt block and as I'm sewing I notice that the fabric is curling up a little on the other side of the presser foot. I assume this is a tension issue but am not sure how to fix it. My tension is just below "4", I've tried raising and lowering it but it's not making much of a difference. Last night I loosened the tension a little on my bobbin... would that be causing this? (it was really tight before)

Thanks so much.

ETA: sorry if this is the same as the tension below. I'll try rethreading it and changing the needle to see if it helps.

Re: Quick sewing question (NEVER MIND!!)

  • Forget it, I fixed it. I rethreaded the machine, changed my needle, and tightened the bobbin tension a bit. At first it still seemed a little ripple-y but it's good now.

    Thanks though, have a good weekend!
