Is Elvis still too tense ???
@Ohsewsimple @Celia @Acorn @Bodgeitandscarper @anyone else who knows anything about embroidery machinesIve had a play ....
.... after visiting my longarmer, who also sells and services Brother machines, who said that the tension should be set at 4 on the Brother machines and seeing my tension was set at 00 (and not being able to find anything in his manual that said what the tension should be set at) I decided to try a few alternative settings
I chose the letter H for the first try at 4 (which was recommended) and stopped after Elvis had stitched an I .. which is why the stitch unravelled slightly afterwards.
From then on I chose an I for the letter
Ive written the tension setting by the letter and stitched the letter at 00, 4, 5, 6, 7 and the maximum 8.
if you
click on the link you should go to the album and be able to zoom in on the individual pics ...
So what do you embroiderybods think?
Which is right ??
Surely 8 is far too high for a setting ???
Can it be fixed by buying a new bobbin ??
Or does Elvis need to go into the Hospital to get reset ???
