ADJUSTING TOP THREAD

TENSION'

STRAIGHT STITCHING

The good looking appearance of your stitching is largely determined by the balanced tension of both top end bobbin threads. The tension is well balanced when these two threads 'lock'in the

middle of layers of fabric you are sewing.

If, when you start to sew, you find that the stitching is irregular, you will need to adjust the tension control.

Make any adjustments with presser foot 'down'.

1.If the threads are locking on the top surface with the top thread lying flat, the top stitch is too tight. Tension

can oe decreased by turning the tension control to lower numbers.

2, If the reverse is happening with the threads on the underside of the

_b_;c, the tension is too loose. This can be corrected by turning the tension control to higher numbers.

ZIGZAG STITCHING

The top thread may appear on the bottom depending on the thread, fabric, type of stitch and sewing speed, but the bobbin thread must never appear on the top of the fabric.

ADJUSTING BOBBIN

THREAD TENSION

BOBBIN THREAD TENSION REQUIRES

ADJUSTMENT LESS FREQUENTLY THAN THE TOP THREAD TENSION.

If the tension is well balanced, but the fabric puckers badly, both top and bobbin thread tensions may be too tight and have to be adjusted.

When adjusting the tension on the bobbin case, make only slight adjust- ments with a srewdriver.
