Use this procedure when changing the thread tension.

Upper thread tension dial

1 Upper thread tension setting

2Weak (Decrease thread tension)

3 Strong (Increase thread tension)

A– To tighten the upper thread tension, adjust the dial to the right.

AB– To loosen the upper thread tension, adjust the dial to the left.

*The standard position is between “4” and “6”. However, a

sewing test should always be done to check for the proper thread tension.

Thread tension may need to be adjusted with the use of different thread, fabric or stabilizer fabric.

B

Correct thread tension

Adjust so that the lower thread stitch width on the reverse surface of the fabric is about one-third of the total width.

Correct tension is important because too much or too little tension will cause poor quality embroidery or your fabric to pucker.
