Adjusting the Tension When Using Heavy Upholstery Thread?

I have a Brother XL 2230 sewing machine. I always run into a problem with the stitch tension adjustment. When sewing a cotton suede upholstery fabric I was OK when I tested the stitch with a polyester thread. When I decided to use the extra strong upholstery thread my stitches became loose on the wrong side of fabric. I tried decreasing and increasing the top dial, but it doesn't get better.

You may be better off putting tissue paper above and below the fabric, and ripping away after you have finished stitching.
