I hope this helps.
I had a friend years ago and that taught me to adjust the tension on my machine, top and bottom. I'm so glad she did! I can do things successfully that I could never do before. Another thing she suggested is to buy and extra bobbin casing and mark it. I now have one that is my straight stitch/normal casing and one that I can mess with the tension on for machine embroidery, unusual fabrics or whatever. That way I always have one that is ready to go for straight stitching.
