The Balance function is generally reserved for fine tuning
the stitch appearance, but is sometimes required because of
differences in fabrics and threads.
The Balance Function is used to troubleshoot and fine tune
stitches if they do not produce desired results with default
settings. Oftentimes, this is caused by unusual fabrics or
threads.
