Stitch Settings in SET Menu
If you want to check what thread tension, balance, presser
foot pressure you have on a certain stitch you can go to
your SET Menu.
Touch the Start Menu to open the Extended Start Menu.
On the Extended Start Menu, touch the SET Menu icon,
then touch Stitch Setting to see the actual setting of the
stitch.
Thread tension
The needle thread tension control is available in Stitch
Setting in the SET Menu. Touch + to increase, and - to
decrease the needle thread tension.
For the best stitch appearance and durability make sure the
needle thread tension is correctly adjusted, i.e. for general
sewing, the threads evenly meet between the two fabric
layers.
If the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the
fabric, the needle thread tension is too tight. Reduce the
needle thread tension.
If top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric, the
needle thread tension is too loose. Increase the needle
thread tension.
For decorative stitches and buttonholes the top thread
should be visible on the underside of the fabric.
Balance
When sewing on special fabrics or doing a special
technique, the balance may need to be adjusted.
Start by sewing a stitch on a piece of scrap fabric. Touch
the SET icon on the extended toolbar. Choose the Stitch
Settings to open the balance window. Balance the stitch,
using the + and - icons. Use the pan icons to see the
whole stitch. Change the picture on the screen to match
your sewn sample. When you sew again, the balance will
be corrected.
Buttonholes can also be balanced.
