I make a product (notebook case) that requires me to sew from 1 to 3 layers depending on what part of the design I am at. Usually the 2 and 3 layer sections stay pretty uniform but obviously the tension isnt right when it gets to the part where there is only 1 layer. Is it common to adjust upper thread tension while sewing to accommodate problem spots?

Im not sure its common but I do it. I make a test run on some scrap from the project and make note of the tension settings. Then as I transition I make adjustments. FYI I use a Boss. Im not sure it would work on an electric machine.
