Tension on KH970

New to machine knitting and tension squares and how to adjust when knitting too tight is just bypassing me completely.

Many thanks
Karen

Hi Karen welcome to the madhouse that is machine knitting.

My rule of thumb is use a tension where the carriage moves easily and you don’t have to strain. If you find it difficult to move the carriage use a larger number and keep going up until it is easy to knit and you like the feel of the work.
