What tension should my brother sewing machine be on?

What is the right setting for straight stitch?
A straight stitch has no width so it makes sense to set the dial at “0”. However, each machine varies so you will want to set the Stitch Width dial at the position where the needle is centered over the stitch plate. This will give you the most accurate seam allowance.

Why has my sewing machine jammed?
This can be caused by several things, such as a thread getting tangled, the fabric not being fed evenly, or a build-up of lint or dust in the machine. Jams can also be caused by the needle hitting something inside the machine, so it is important always to keep an eye on the needle while sewing.
Why is my bobbin not winding?
Check if you aligned the groove in the bobbin with the spring on the bobbin winder shaft and pressed down on the bobbin until it snapped into place. Check if the thread is passed through the bobbin winding guide correctly. Check if there are scratches or other defects on the bobbin. Replace the bobbin if in doubt.
What should my thread tension be set at?
So we’ll be talking only about the top thread tension since that’s where you’d usually make the adjustments. The dial settings run from 0 to 9, so 4.5 is generally the ‘default’ position for normal straight-stitch sewing. This should be suitable for most fabrics.
Why is my thread bunching underneath?
Your Thread Tension Is Too Tight Sewing machine manufacturers suggest that you don’t mess with your bobbin thread tension too much, but you should adjust your upper thread tension if you keep getting bunched up thread underneath your fabric. If your tension is too tight, it can pull your thread and break it.
