The reason I asked is I think my tension is off a bit and I went to the brother site for the test pattern

Take it apart and if you have to use a magnifying glass to check the bobbin case very closely. Mine had a tiny speck of lint in where the thread goes through the tension adjusting spring.and it messed up the whole stitching. Chase |

Depends on what I'm making, but usually -2

I have never touched the tension after the first time I tried to. I took it back to the shop and they said there was nothing wrong with it. It did not make a pretty stitch and still doesn't!

How very strange... I am also seriously thinking about buying this machine! Did not think to ask questions on this board because it's an embroidery-only machine. I guess quilters embroider a lot too...:)
