Well, I don't have the auto tensioning feature, but the only time I have thread breaks is when I need to change a needle, the bobbin thread runs out or the thread catches on the spool label or something like that. I always set my tee shirts and thin polos to 5 and denim, twill or pique or sweat shirts to 6 and have few breaks. I don't have the new machine. I bought mine last September, close to the time they brought out the new one. I planned on downloading the auto tensioning, but was told at a recent show in Indpls, that it was not free. Is that what all you out there were told? But, actually I have no problem setting the tension myself... hope I haven't jinxed myself!!!!!!!!
