■Cause/remedy/check details

†Cause 1

The machine is not correctly threaded.

<With symptoms 1 and 2 described above> The bobbin threading is incorrect.

Return the upper thread tension to the standard setting, and then refer to "Upper thread tightened up" (page 178) to correct the threading.

<With symptoms 3 through 5 described above> The upper threading is incorrect.

Return the upper thread tension to the standard setting, and then refer to "Tangled thread on wrong side of fabric" (page 179) to correct the upper threading.

†Cause 2

A needle and thread appropriate for the fabric are not being used.

The sewing machine needle that should be used depends on the type of fabric sewn and the thread thickness.

If a needle and thread appropriate for the fabric are not being used, the thread tension will not be adjusted correctly, causing wrinkles in the fabric or skipped stitches.

•Refer to "Selecting the needle depending on the thread and fabric types" (page 39) to check that a needle and thread appropriate for the fabric are being used.

†Cause 3

The setting selected for the upper thread tension is not appropriate.

Refer to "Adjusting the stitch length" (page 62) to select an appropriate thread tension.

The appropriate thread tension differs depending on the type of fabric and thread being used.

*Adjust the thread tension while test sewing on a piece of scrap fabric that is the same as that used in your project.

Note

zIf the upper threading and bobbin threading are incorrect, the thread tension cannot be adjusted correctly. Check the upper threading and bobbin threading first, and then adjust the thread tension.

†If the bobbin thread is visible from the right side of the fabric

Turn the thread tension dial to the left to loosen the upper thread.

†If the upper thread is visible from the wrong side of the fabric

Turn the thread tension dial to the right to tighten the upper thread.
