●We recommend that you do a test sample on scrap of a fabric before you start to sew.

●Antes de comenzar a coser, recomendamos que haga una prueba en un retal.

■Correct Tension / Tensión adecuada

Correct tension is important as too much or too little tension will weaken your seams or cause puckers on your fabric.

Una tensión adecuada es importante, puesto que un exceso o defecto de la misma afectará a la calidad de la costura y la tela podría fruncirse.

Note/Nota

●If the upper thread is not threaded correctly or the bobbin is not installed correctly, it may not be possible to set the correct thread tension. If the correct thread tension cannot be achieved, rethread the upper thread and insert the bobbin correctly.

●Si el hilo superior no está enhebrado correctamente o la bobina no está colocada correctamente, quizá no sea posible ajustar la tensión adecuada del hilo. Si no puede ajustar la tensión adecuada, vuelva a enhebrar el hilo superior e inserte la bobina correctamente.
