My tension I think needs adjusting. I have a brothers project runway limited edition. When I want to do a gathered stitch I set it to a 1, stitch length is as wide as I can make it (either a 5 or 7 I can't remember) and the tension is on a 9. It barely gathers. I need it to gather as tight as possible without the thread breaking. Is there any way to change that? My old machine just had me screw a tiny screw in the bobbin a tiny bit and everything was fine but this machine is different and I can't find where to do that at.

If your manual does not give that info then.....put your machine back to it's original maufacturing settings and mark them. Then adjust and play around with it till you do get it right. And when you're finished doing the gathering, you'll know where to set all your dials and tensions back to it's origianl settings. HTH!

it will only let me change the tension on the dial at the top. No way to tighten it with a screw or anything. The tightest tension barely gathers and I have no idea how to change the tension any other way on this machine. Hope that makes sense.

I have that same machine. Are you using a ruffler foot? I use a ruffler foot and have not had a problem.

But I've never had a problem with it gathering. It just seems that the longer I have it, the less it gathers.
