10. REGULATING THE THREAD TENSION for ordinary stitching the tension of the upper and lower threads should be equal so as to lock Correct Stitch both threads in the center of the material ¡Eig. 13). If one tension is stronger than the other, r imperfect stitching will result. Fine materials ll- ]l Y////\ Needle Thread Tension too strong require, a light tension, while heavy materials require more tension to obtain a perfect stitch. TO INCREASE the tension, turn the mm?.
11. REGULATING THE STITCH LENGTH Tht length of the stitch can.be changed with the stitch length dial SFig. IS). In order to set machine at a certain length of stitch, turn the stitch length dial until rheindicatoris facing the selected number on the scale. The length of the stitch is variable from 0-5.The normal stitch lenght is 2. a. Regulate the length of the stitch as for forward sewing. b. Push reverse stitch button located in the center of the stitch length dial (Fig. 15) as far as it will go.
. REGULATING WIDTH OF ZIGZAG STITCH a ^ 2 3^5 The width of zigzag stitch is regulated by the zigzag knob. By moving the zigzag knob to right, the ”iidth of the zigzag stitch will increase accordingly. And by moving the zigzag knob to left, the width of the zigzag stitch will decrease accordingly. If at "0" position, there will be a straight stitch.
