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

The needle size in relation to the thread size and needle tip pattern is also quite important!
