Hi Sandra, Yes, its just a trial and error thing. I wish there was some magical formula. For Ts I just keep decreasing the density until the fabric starts to show through. Then I back it up a little so that fabric doesn't show. Actually, I am thrilled I could actually contribute an answer!! I've only had my machine and software since the end of Nov. I've always been on the questioning side. But this was something we learned in training in January. I'm thrilled I could help!
