Hi, I had trouble with stitch tension when I first started but it turns out the tension discs were really stuck together and I didn't realize until I took machine to dealer. Since then I have changed threads and was able to get right tension really quickly. I watched a lot of videos online. I really love the way the frame makes it so easy to "load" quilt. I always have used spray baste and sandwiched quilt on portable tables pushed together, I just pin the outer edges. The clamps that come with the machine are perfect and its quick to move on the next area to be quilted.I would totally recommend it
