I don't know for sure but you might contact a Babylock dealer. I was told this weekend that they are a Brother/Babylock product. The one I saw was in a Babylock dealership.

I have the similar White 3300 model. The Simplicity, Brother, White and I believe an older Babylock model are about the same machine and take most of the same embroidery cards etc. I have never had a tension problem and have done tons of embroidery on many fabric types. I cannot remember even changing my tension. I keep the tension set in the middle between 4 and 5..but a wee bit closer to the 5 than the 4. I guess you could say it is at 4 and 3/4. I hope this helps. You might try Sew4Less on line for a manual. I have never used this dealer but I have seen them referred to often in posts. |

Here is the link to the manual for the Brother SE-270D, which should be very close to the SE-3. http://www.brother-usa.com/Data/Documentation/HSM/User/UM_SE270D.pdf Simplicity also has downloadable manuals, but for some reason, I cannot bring up their website right now. http://www.simplicitysewing.com added later--------------------------------------------- AHA! I got the Simplicity site to load. You can download a free SE3 manual at http://www.simplicitysewing.com/manuals/ It's 8.92 mb, so I hope you are not using a dial-up connection. Ed |

 I have this machine and have had it for a couple of years. I've never had any trouble with the tension on mine. For most of my embroidery I have it set between 4 and 5 and for FSL designs I have it set between 5 and 6. I've never had to set the tension except for when I fisrt got it, bobbin thread was showing on the top so had to adjust the tension then, but I haven't had a problem with it since then. It is a great little back up machine. I also have a Babylock Esante Ese 2 which I use al lthe time. I now have Se 3 sitting unter the bed room tv with a cover over it that I made. I got the Baby lock for Christmas last year and I love the larger stitch field. It has a 5x7. I'm still used to the 4x4, but I can stitch that on the Babylock. Mo mother is going to use my Se 3 this Summer when she is back here. Right now she is in Arizona and has never done any machine embroidery. She'll love it. I beleive this is an old thread, but by now I hope you got a manul for your machine. Good luck with it, Huggies, Fay
