Does anyone have a Bernina 1008?
I am having some moderate difficulty doing FMQ on my Bernina 1008. It's ok-ish, but no matter how I tweak the tension or what thread I use, there are some areas with sloppy stitches, typically on curves. As I look at the diagram of the machine in my manual, there is a think called the "pre-tension stud" located on the top left of the machine. From past sewing machines I've had, I think this may adjust the pressure with which the presser foot presses down on the fabric. Is that correct? If so, can I adjust that pre-tension stud in such a way that the darning foot / quilting foot will press down just a little harder on the quilt sandwich during FMQ? I think that might solve my stitch problem. I'm hesitant to fiddle with the adjustment, as I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get it back to its original position again when I switch back to regular straight stitching. Have any of you done this?
