thread tension
Greetings ... I have an old SEW-MOR that usually works great ... however, I
changed thread recently to a heavy weight. The bobin tension is "firm" but not tight. I loosened it but it was too loose so I tightened it again to the original tension. I increased the the upper thread tension and that helped a bit but it's still not perfect. Any thoughts? thanks! wendy |
