Once I had the perfect setting, I would write the settings on the sample, and add it toa sheet I kept in the cam box.
I haven't ordered a manual yet. I have thought of a couple more places to look first. But in the meantime, I tried what you suggested about the stitch length and it did make a difference. But I still am not seeing any difference when I change cams.. ??

I am not familiar with stabilizer, since I have never tried any of these fancy stitches before. What is it for and does it go on the front and get torn off or on the back?
