Cindy,
The Auto Acti-feed setting will be determined by how much resitance the
thread/fabric will offer up while sewing. Imagine this: tie a sting around a
piece of steel until it's tight. The string will only stretch as much as it's
going to and the steel won't stretch at all. Now tie a string around a piece
of soft, squishy foam rubber. The string will stretch only so much but the
foam will collapse under the strength of the string until the string's knot is
tight.
This is why softer/stretchier fabrics will pucker and sink in when using
Auto-Actifeed. To counter act this experience we use backing and usually a
minimum of two layers of cutaway.
When you choose to use the standard thread feed, YOU are now in control of how
much thread is fed to the garment. Remember that a value of 8 on one person's
machine may not give the same results as an 8 on another. There are many
varying factor such as thread feed roller condition, lubrication, bobbin
tension, type of backing, how much backing, fabric thickness, fabric stretch
within hoop, etc...
Hence, when it comes to choosing the proper value for standard thread feed, you
just have to try it and see what works best for you. Know that you can change
it's value while sewing so if it starts out too tight or loose, you can change
it "on the fly".
