CFM Frodo Posted January 27, 2022 Author CFM Report Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) use the closest hole if you need more tension use the second hole if you need less tension thread the first hole then into the second hole if you need max tension YES, run the thread under the sp[ring what you are looking at is surface area. the first hole is closest to the screw it will be tighter than the second hole that is farther away from the screw latest modification, needle/halo lift has always been a pita to reach. i moved it to the other side of the machine, The red handle was made by Chuck Edited January 27, 2022 by Frodo Quote Singer 66, Chi Chi Patcher, Rex 26-188, singer 29k62 , 2-needles D.C.F.M

Members DrmCa Posted January 27, 2022 Members Report Posted January 27, 2022 Only now I noticed that your top-left tensioner's thread guide is upside down from mine. Dunno if it matters but it may be worth trying to rotate it 180 degrees so that it sits above the top tensioner, not below.
