Singer 7467S instruction manual Adjusting TOP Thread Tension, Straight Stitching, Bobbin Tension

Page 28

ADJUSTING TOP THREAD TENSION

90% of your sewing will be accomplished with the word “AUTO” exposed on the tension control dial on top of the machine.

Helpful Hint: A slight adjustment to a higher number or a lower number side of 4 will improve sewing appearance.

STRAIGHT STITCHING

The appearance of your stitching is largely determined by the balanced tension of both top and bobbin threads. The tension is well balanced when these two threads ‘lock’ in the middle of layers of the 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 all adjustments with presser foot ‘down’.

A balanced tension (identical stitches both top and bottom) is usually only desireable for straight stitch sewing.

ZIG ZAG and DECORATIVE SEWING

For zigzag sewing and decorative stitch functions, thread tension should be less than for straight stitch sewing.

You will always obtain a nicer stitch and less puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

BOBBIN TENSION

The bobbin tension has been correctly set at the factory, so you do not need to adjust it.

CHANGING PRESSER FOOT

Be sure needle is in the up position. Raise presser foot lifter.

1.Push presser foot release button to remove the foot.

2.Place the desired foot on the needle plate aligning the presser foot pin with the foot holder.

3.Lower the presser foot lifter so that the foot holder snaps on the foot.
