Go to http://www.sewalot.com and go to the tension pages. After fifty years of struggling with tension, Alex explained it in a way that I could learn how to adjust tension. I have a pfaff also, and when the tension is weird, it's almost never the bottom tension; adjusting the upper tension will fix most any tension problem I ever have. I hope this site helps you as much as it has helped me. Galey
Fantastic resource!!! Thanks a million>
