Would appreciate any info on this issue. Thank you.
I have the 820, so virtually the same machine .... yours just has more stuff on it!
When you said that you increased and decreased, but no change ....
..... Did you change it slightly? or to an extreme?
Don't be afraid to adjust it a huge amount, either direction, to get it right.
Sometimes I find it's a big adjustment to get the tension right.
I often use different threads (colour and/or type of thread) in the top/bottom,
so getting the tension right is really important as any pokeys would really show.
