The tension settings that your manual suggests are just that, just a suggestion, a starting point. Because just like sewing on a sewing machine, many things affect your tension. The stitch width will affect your loopers, the stitch length will affect your needle, and the fabric thickness and weight. We'll get to all that a little bit later. First, let me just show you how to feed your fabric. So, I've got my presser foot down, my thread chain off to the back, my serger knife is engaged. I've set up my machine using my recommended settings. So, all you do is put your fabric up to the front of your presser foot and let the feed dogs pull it through. Your presser foot is already down, so don't worry about lifting anything up and...
