Do others agree, or are all of you adjusting the bobbin tension yourselves?
And why would two Bernina dealers have totally different ideas about what is the correct bobbin tension?
Isn't there a right and a wrong answer on this?
I adjust mine all the time. Ask some of the sales ladies what they adjust their tension to - without mentioning the technician. I had a friend of mine just get hers back from servicing and was having issues. I had her loosen it some and no more problems. However note of caution -don't do it over a hard floor it can get away from you very quickly and if it lands on a hard surface you can get it out of round.
