Adjusting the thread tension

If embroidery fails, it is difficult to undo the thread and the fabric may be damaged. Before embroidering, use a scrap of the same fabric to check the adjustment of the thread tension, etc.

Thread tension adjustment will be explained here. The upper thread tension is changed using the thread tension dial on the left side of the sewing machine.
