I don't change the tension on my machine. I change the tension on the thread. I taped a safety pin to the end of my sewing machine, put my thread on a thread stand behind the machine run the thread through the hole in the safety pin and then through the sewing machine as usual. This works great on my Baby Lock Ellegante, it may work for you also.
