How a stitch is formed
I received this little video today from a very kind gentleman, and I just had to share it with you! Neither of us can find the originator of it, but it’s not from lack of trying….
This displays how a stitch is formed. You can see how the rotary hook spins around, capturing the thread from the needle, and actually forming the stitch. If your top tension is too tight, the rotary hook cannot form the stitch, and you will have skipped stitches throughout your quilt top.

That’s really interesting. I always wanted to take one apart to figure it out, but I don’t think my mom would have liked that too much.
Skimming through your blog I find it very informative. Keeping the URL and telling others about this great blog. Thanks for all the information.
