ADJUSTING THE THREAD TENSIONS

The thread tension must be properly

balanced. If adjustment is required, it can be

made by changing the upper thread tension.

A. Correct Thread Tension

Upper and bobbin threads should interlock

in the middle of fabric.

B.When bobbin thread appears on top

side of fabric.

Turn the tension dial to a lower number to loosen the

upper thread tension.

C.When upper thread appears on the bottom

side

of fabric.

Turn the tension dial to a higher number to tighten

the upper thread tension.

D.Thread Tension for Zigzag Stitches

To sew zigzag stitches, the thread tension

should be set to a slightly weaker tension than

when sewing straight stitches.

You will obtain a nicer stitch when upper thread

appears slightly on bottom side of fabric.
