Alex - all I have to say is THANK YOU!!!!!! You are a lifesaver (not to mention a machine saver) as I was getting ready to pitch the thing out the window, now it is perfect. You saved me a fortune in repair costs!

Dear Alex,
Thank you for all the wonderful advice you have to offer. You really know your stuff!! Now my trusty old Kenmore is sewing beautifully and I have you to thank for it! 
Thanks again.
Carey Van der Vossen

Wow! I was 1/2 way through making 3 little house on the prairie dresses. Suddenly, out of no where, I am having serious tension problems. I was ready to give my husband the spill that I am just going to have to have a new machine to finish these lovely dresses by Christmas. However after following your advice I adjusted the tension perfectly and now am on my way.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you
Deann

I spent five days messing with my machine and cursing. Your advice was perfect, you saved the day.

Hi Alex,

I have not used my mom's industrial power sewing machine for 4 years because of the bad tension. My plan was to sell, but wanted to have this repaired. I came across your site, in my last attempt to fix this myself, before calling the repair person.
The reading was so enjoyable, gave me the confidence to do this myself. Must commend your writing skills and excellent sense of humor. I am very much an "read the instructions first" person, but sometimes the instructions lose me. Yours was clear, and I felt like you were "holding my hand" in the process.
Again thanks for your help, the machine is now rocking 'n rolling!!!!!

Color me happy today!!

Best,
M Estevez

I could kiss you. Thank you very much for taking the time to explain about sewing machine tension. I have one of those new auto-tension machines and did not dare to touch it until now. It is now making a perfect stitch. Christine

Alex,

Thanks so much for your amazing tension adjusting guide.
My beloved machine started acting up, and I was
devastated to think that there was no hope for it.  I took
it to be serviced.  It came back no better, and I was $70
poorer.  I adjusted the upper tension, cleaned it, did
everything that I could do.  No improvements.  But then I
purchased your wonderful guide. Following your simple, well-thought out
instructions, I adjusted the tension, and my machine
was up and running perfectly - all in less than a half
hour!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the awesome service
that you have provided!

Sherri

Thank, you thank you, thank, you, thank, you, thank you. Did I forget to thank you! Pat.

I love you. I have spent so much money and now I can do it all myself and get it even better every time. Chanda.

Today I feel victorious. Ginger H, Mexico

Dear Alex, the best tension adjustment ever! Sharon M

The most complete, no nonsense, UNDERSTANDABLE treatise on the incubus from Hell. Dean WA USA.

Your booklet should come with every machine ever made! Cathy.

I have been unhappy with the quality of my stitch for over 15 years until now! Cathy W California.

Hello Alex,

I just had to write to you - you have saved my day!

I am a silk painter and sew my silk into scarves, pillows, wall hangings, and clothes. I am getting ready for an important show in the fall and my Pfaff sewing machine once again has gone all loopy on me. I have it serviced regularly and seldom can I make it through a year before it starts making many, many large loops on the underneath silk.

I used your "Tension Adjustment". Your sense of humor put my frustration on the back burner and I found myself actually smiling while reading your instructions....on a subject too upsetting for words.

I fixed the Singer and am now sewing away. I plan to try it out on the Pfaff as soon as I can, you have given me the courage and knowledge to try to fix it.

THANK YOU!
Sue A
Damariscotta, Maine, USA

My fiancé bought me a sewing machine but you saved my life! Brenda.

I consider myself a competent mechanic. Your tension booklet is well written with enough humor to help us through. Thank you. Glen.

Your book could also be called tension reduction! Thank you for sharing your talent and experience. Jim P.

I have spent weeks trying and crying. You have saved my sanity. Sally W. NY.

KUDOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could kiss you. Are you married? Chrissy.

Alex, your tension booklet saved my sanity and my pocketbook. My Bernina was out of tension. I am so grateful. Bonnie in America.
