    Sewing SilNylon

    I'm using a ce-5000prw project runway special.

    While sewing SilNylon I can get the back loops to close up.
    I've changed the tension from one extreme to the next and can't find a spot where it ticks the loops in like it is suppose too.

    Ideas??

    I don't think this machine has adjustable bobbin tension.

    I think I got it, cleaned the bobbin area and slowly adjusted tension and found what I think is a good spot.

    Now my stitches are really small, and me adjusting them doesn't do any good.
    I guess it's always something.
