Adjustments

Thread Tension

The thread tension may need to be adjusted depending on the type of threads or fabrics you use.

Before changing tensions, make sure the thread is properly inserted in the tension discs. (HINT: Press and hold the tension release lever while pulling up on the threads above the tension discs.)

Thread tensions can be adjusted by turning the color coded dials - yellow, blue, red and green. Turn the dial that corresponds to the thread that needs adjusting.

Adjust only one tension setting at a time and then view the result before adjusting again.
