•Drawing up bobbin thread

Raise the presser foot. Hold the needle thread lightly with your left hand and rotate the handwheel counterclockwise for one complete turn.

Bring the bobbin thread up by pulling the needle thread up.

Pull both threads 4" to 6 '°(10.0 to 15.0 cm) under and behind the presser foot.

•Correct tension

Needle thread (Top thread)

Bobbin thread (Bottom thread)

To loosen

To tighten

The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two layers of fabric, as illustrated (magnified to show detail). If you look at the top and bottom of a seam, notice that the stitches are evenly balanced.

When adjusting the needle thread tension, the higher the number, the tighter the top thread tension.

Results depend on:

•stiffness and thickness of the fabric

•number of fabric layers

• type of stitch	J

•Tension is too tight

Needle thread (Top thread)

Bobbin thread (Bottom thread

To loosen tension

Right side (Top side) of fabric

Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric

The bobbin thread shows through on the wrong side of the fabric, and the stitch feels bumpy. Turn the dial to a

lower tension setting number to loosen the needle thread tension.
