the stitch, type of fabric and thread you are using. For best results make tension adjustments in small steps of no greater
than half a number at a time. Always test sew on a sample of your fabric before sewing on your garnment.
Different stitches are obtained by combining the ATD with different needle positions, threading methods, and the use
of the 2-thread converter.
