I am so glad you have the web site SEMTA – All that i know by Sarina Tarig. We were about to throw out our new Janome because before your web site we had never heard of bird nesting. The tension was too low when it came from the factory. Thanks, Becky

This is the most awesome site. It is written so clear that an old lady can understand the instructions in detail. I kept going from subject to another and couldn’t quit reading. Thank you sooooo much. You have answered questions I had forgoten that I had asked.

Thank you for this information. My bottom tension is really loose. I have a Singer Fashion Mate 257. It is an older model but a very strong machine with not that many hours of sewing done on it. I can’t seem to get the bottom tension set right. Any suggestions. Thanks!

Thank you for the information. My fabric puckers when I sew and I will try some of your solutions. The suggestions given by the “experts” at the National Sewing Circle were not as good as your explanations–so my “Thank You” is heartfelt.
