does this machine automatically set or tell you what the tension should be set at?

Tension settings are never "one size fits all". And at this price you do NOT get automatic tensioning. The only way you know what works, is to test it on scraps of material before you sew on your project. If the machine is not threaded correctly, or the bobbin is in wrong, you will have problems that not even resetting the tension will help. Learn to thread these new Brothers correctly, or you'll have problems and it will seem like the tension is off. The machine will come set at usually 4, and that is for medium weight cotton fabrics. From there on, you need to learn how to set the tension.

Sounds like the tension knob or cable that controls it may be broken, when i turn my tension knob to increase tension I feel it even if I only move it from 1 to 2.

The tension is adjustable...so the answer all depends on how much suction you like till it gets uncomfortable...

The tension can be adjusted but I don't thin high enough for the lapto screen to be used. I had to have someone who set these up for a living come do mine.

To increase the tension, we recommend lowering the adjustment pin. Please feel free to contact us at 1-855-PERKYPET (1-855-737-5973) for additional assistance, we apologize for any inconvenience.

I discovered that the adjustment of tension can be modified by taking off the tension by unlatching the pawl then push the pawl until the nut clears the retaining pin and then screwing the nut in or out depending on whether you wish the tension increased or decreased once the lever(pawl) is latched. Directions should have been included to tell one this but not included with mine.

I do free motion quilting with my machine. The tension must be adjusted: I use 7 or 8. For regular stitching a 4 or 5 tension works fine. If the tension isn't adjusted, I get eye-lashing on the back of the quilt if I'm doing circles and tight curves. I always make a sample quilt sandwich of each project to test the tension. I use a SewSlip glide sheet over the stitch plate to help move things evenly.

There is a T handle screw on the top and you can adjust it to change the tension. I usually leave it at the same tension all the time because that is what I'm comfortable with, but some may want to adjust it. I love it - works well for me.

Yes, there are 3 tension levels. You change them by adding one or two knots. The instructions are clear on this. I have it on the middle or second tension level.

Ours was set pretty well. My wife didn't need to adjust anything on our machine.

I have not had a problem with the tension on my Exerpeutic Treadmill. After I put mine together I adjusted the tension for me, and so far I have not had to adjust it again.

There is no real tension adjustment on the rower. Resistance is dictated by the amount of water in the unit... the more water, the greater the resistance. There are marks on the side of the water vessel to provide level recommendations. I've found that if the water level is near the top two marks you get a good workout. Hope this helps.

Yes to both questions. For the release, you need to take the tension off by squeezing slightly then push the release between the handles. It has an adjustment knob for force. I have been very satisfied with this tool.Harry

Yes, the tension is adjustable, however I don't feel much difference, it is a great, quiet workout while watching TV. It works the hips and legs mostly. hope this helps

Once set, the settings remain until you change them. The little black button below the up and down arrows has to be pushed to the left to set the machine (using the up or down arrows) or to be in non-working mode. To run at he setting chosen you push the button to the right, and the machine will vibrate at the time setting chosen for the number of second chosen until you turn it off by pushing the button back to the left. Provided you don't press either of the up or down buttons while in this mode, which is unlikely to happen accidentally, the chosen setting will remain.
