This video intends a way to make us understand how tensions could be adjusted on an industrial sewing machine.
I consider this topic of great importance because from it depends to get a nice sewing on an upholstery project.
By doing this procedure well, we will get balanced plain closing sewings. Besides, nice stitches on top view if referring to top decorative stitches (french stitches and over stitches)
For this demonstration, I have used the standard upholstery thread (polyester N°92) and a needle 120 (metric system=20 (Singer system) If we need to do sewings with a thicker thread it would be advisable to change the needle for a thicker one. Tensions must need a readjustment to get a balanced sewing.
I hope you find this information useful!

Dear friend, I have used the standard upholstery thread 92, but it can sew with a thinner thread if used on thin fabrics. According to the manual these machines can sew from 110=18 needle size to 180=24 needle size. I have tried with a 90 needle size with 92 thread and it also sews excellent. I used it on small thin leather items.

Hey Cechaflo! Once again, a great video! I balanced out the tensions on my 1245, top and bottom, no dots on either the top or bottom, but, I'm sewing with auto leather and in sharp corners the seam doesn't seem to be tight enough! The thread can be seen pretty dominately when turned right side out..?? is it possible to get a tighter seam and balanced? Any ideas would certainly be appreciated! Thanks!

@Cechaflo 8 ай бұрын

Glad to hear from you! If the upper tension is tightened enough and there is still a 'loose stitch' it could be the 'hook point' would need to be a little bit faster, of course to catch the 'thread loop' faster. By doing this the upper tension would be alleviated and you would not need to tighten it too much. It is only a suggestion. You should try the best you feel is ok.

@bennetaiken9849 7 ай бұрын

Thx for getting back so quickly! I was able to adjust stitch length and trim around the sharper corners which kept the stitches from pulling so hard and that seemed to pull them tighter. I think it will be ok, but if not, I'll give your idea a shot. Thx so much for your response!
