It sure could.
I didn't really take the computer factor into consideration. Humans tend to put too little pressure, but it might not be the same for a sensor. :)
I don't think computerized machines even have stitches per inch settings any more, do they? My computer-machines don't. They have settings like 1.5 or 2.0 - I have no clue as to how many stitches per inch that's supposed to be.
With all my other machines, I set the machine to do the number of stitches that I want it to do, then I sew some scraps that are similar in thickness and type and count the number of stitches per inch.
If there are more than I want, I increase the pressure. If there are less than I want, I decrease the pressure.
I wouldn't have a clue as to how to fix that problem with the Brother or the Futura - use a higher number for one problem and a lower for the other?
