If the needle hole is too small, that will affect the stitch tension because knot will get hung up on the bottom of the piece you are sewing. glenn How could it not? The longer distance between each stitch will affect the top bottom pull because of the distance. A long stitch will be looser than a short one or are we not talking about the same thing? I'm looking at it as you do a long stitch on a curved seam and flip it inside out it's going to look loose where the shorter stitch will be tighter because of the distance. Quote
