I can always tell when my tension is unbalanced, but I can never remember which way to adjust the upper tension number. Your article has made that very clear: if it’s on the top it needs to go down, if it’s on the bottom it needs to come up; so I can use that as a way to remember which way to turn my dial. Thank you!
Thank you for this, and the linked articles. The sewing machine was a revolutionary (pun intended) invention! Sewists can only do their best work with proper understanding of how the tools function.
Thank you

Another great article, well-written and beautifully illustrated.
This was a good review for straight stitch tension balance. Now I would appreciate a similar discussion of ZZ balance. Thanks!

Another great article, Cale! Very clear and well written!
So if you are my bing tension from 4 to 6, are you making it tighter or looser?
Fantastic! Thank you! I understand more than I used to. 💖
