75 Body Repair Scheme
Step 2. Stringing (Continued)
I'm switching to these clamps from the clothes pins.  They clamp a little tighter and allow a better view of what is going on.
Next the tension or tightness must be adjusted.  The blue arrows show the alignment points.  This works best when all 4 of these slots align like this.
Hold the forearms in each hand with your two little fingers.  Pull both forearms straight out form the shoulders and keep the tension on.
With the tension held the upper arm pieces will float on the elastic strips and allow you to adjust the tension on the strip that goes accross the chest from arm hole to arm hole.  You will feel which side is tight or loose.  Keep moving the upper arm pieces back and forth until you feel an even tension.  If it is loose then pull out the two strips that come out of the neck hole and clamp.  You may have to repeat this a few times until it feels right.  
It's getting tighter and tighter.
You can adjust the arms individually too, by adjusting the strips that run from the arm to the neck. Remember that to adjust the strip on the left arm, you need to pull up on the strip that is on the right side.
I find that the tension is about right when you can pull out one arm(without it being really tight) about as far as is shown above. Next check the other arm.
