Adjusting thread tension

■

For straight stitching

A perfect, well balanced stitch (1), will have the needle

and bobbin threads locked between the two layers of

fabric with no loops on top or bottom and no puckering.

Too much tension will produce a tight stitch (2) which will

cause the fabric to pucker.

• To decrease tension, turn the dial to a lower number.

Too little tension will produce a loose stitch (3) which

will cause loops in your seam.

• To increase tension, turn the dial to a higher number.

For zigzag stitching

The correct tension setting will produce a smooth even

stitch (1).

Too much tension will produce a tight stitch (2), causing

fabric to pucker. Loosen tension by turning dial to a lower

number.

Too little tension will produce a loose stitch (3), causing

loops in your pattern. Tighten tension by turning dial to a

higher number.
