MAKING EMBROIDERY ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusting Thread Tension

When embroidering, the thread tension should be set so that the upper thread can slightly be seen on the wrong side of the fabric.

Correct Thread Tension

The pattern can be seen from the wrong side of the fabric. If the thread tension is not set correctly, the pattern will not finish well. The fabric may pucker or the thread may break.

Follow the operations described below to adjust thread tension according to the situation.

Note

If the thread tension setting is made extremely weak, the machine may stop dur- ing sewing. This is not the sign of a malfunc- tion. Increase the thread tension slightly, and begin sewing again.

Memo

If you turn the main power to OFF or select a different pattern, the thread tension will reset to the automatic setting.

When you retrieve a saved pattern, the thread tension setting will be the same as when the pattern was saved.
