Hinter I am not sure what to use on it for tension, I have put it up and down and still not getting the tension right I have had it down to 2 and the needle thread is thru to the bottom yet when I move the upper tension knob up one or two notches it is thru the top I am getting frustrated with it!! It is a good machine otherwise.
OK another question how do I set the sewing advisor ?

Also, for heavy woven, then test your tension on a sample with the same fabrics and batting. You can adjust the tension up or down as needed.
Some Sapphires have a nasty habit of letting the thread slip off the take up lever. If your machine hasn't been fitted with the new take up lever (it was redesigned to prevent this from happening), then thread the take up lever from left to right.
Good luck!
