Hey Russell, I set my bobbin so if you flick your wrist a little it slowly comes out of the case but should be tight by holding it by the bobbin thread doing nothing. Turn the tensioner in all the way and unscrew it 4 full turns and that should do it. Hugo would be the best person to contact about EMT's if that doesn't work for you. He knows them well and works on them all the time. The best way to contact him is at HTorbidoni@xxxxxxx or at 301-471-3157. You guys can talk techie Melco stuff all night!!! ;) Steve [amayausers] EMT10T Question From: "Russell Silva" <russell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <amayausers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 15:13:26 -0400 Hi, I bought an EMT10T and know very little about the manual tension system, what should the bobbin tension be and what should the top tension be? I realize that all machines will be slightly different, I am just looking for a starting point. Thanks in advance Russell Silva R.S.
