Do any of you mark your vintage machines somehow when you find the sweet spot? I have changed pressure on my big modern machine a bit, but it has a numbered dial so I can always put it right back to "normal" afterwards.
Yes, one has to play somewhat to get it "right" especially with something that isn't numbered. I have seen some things about adjusting the pressure in some of the Singer manuals. One of the 221 pdf manuals I have just tells which direction to turn to loosen or tighten, but not much else.
The best description I have is from a
"Singer Study Skills" booklet I have that I scanned. I don't know if it is legible how I have edited it but here it is. [ATTACH=CONFIG]534495[/ATTACH]
