Imagine a complement to a sewing machine that has a one-touch electronic air threading system, coupled with a color touchscreen display, and exceptional illumination. In addition, it allows the sewist to keep both hands on any size project. Plus, imagine a machine that calibrates the thread tension for every stitch automatically. Oh, also throw in the fact that it is a 5 thread overlock and coverlock machine. The PFAFF® admire™ air 7000 coverlock machine makes the perfect offering all of these features.

I bought the admire last week and I’m not getting good overlock results. I’m using various fabrics. I have to adjust tensions on all my stitches. Is that normal?
