THREAD TENSION

-Basic thread tension setting: "4"

-To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.

-Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.

-There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch functions and fabrics.

-90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5" ("4" is basic setting).

-For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

2.Thread tension is too loose for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial to higher number.

3.Thread tension is too tight for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial to lower number.
