Members MudBugWill Posted March 11, 2016 Members Report Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone. I recently purchased a Consew 206-RB5 and I am enjoying learning to use it. I understand the bobbin vs upper tension and how to hide the lock stitch in between the top and bottom, but I was wondering about increasing or decreasing the tension on the top and the bottom at the same rate to have tighter and looser stitches. I find tightening both simultaneously make for straighter stitches and loosening makes for more slanted stitches. Is there anything I need to pay specific attention to when dialing this in or do you just settle with what looks the best? Thanks, Will Edited March 11, 2016 by MudBugWill Quote
