I took a class after purchasing and the most valuable piece of advice given (at least to me) was to keep a notebook handy and write down your tension settings before; during and after EVERY project! This way you know where you should start (normal tension) and what changes need to be made for rolled hems; etc. without having to go through trial and error or guessing with each project.
