Yes you try adjusting it. You will get a feel for it but it would be nice if she would have spend some time with you. It sounds like your top tension is too tight. also put a drop of oil in bobbin with every change of bobbin. congratulations on your new machine!!!!! sounds like fun or atleast once you have your tension figured out.

I asked the lady about it and she said it's trial and error adjusting the tensions. What does that mean? Anyway I really want to get to be able to use this thing so I can quilt my log on it. August may be coming faster than I think.
