Thread tension will affect the quality of your stitches.

It may need to be adjusted when you change fabric

or thread type.

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

 

 

It is recommended that a test sample be made on a

 

 

fabric scrap before sewing on your project.

NOTE:

Lower thread tension has already been adjusted for general use at the factory. For most sewing applica- tions no adjustment is needed.

However, when sewing with thin thread on thin fabrics, the thread tension can not be adjusted enough with the Upper Tension Control Dial. There- fore, the thread tension can be adjusted according to the procedure below.

I.Lower tension is too loose.

Locks appear on the surface of the fabric. Decrease the thread tension by turning the dial to a lower number. If the result is still not satis- factory then adjust the bobbin thread tension as shown below.

I-1 BOBBIN

Increase the tension in the bobbin by turning the screw with the enclosed small screwdriver in a clockwise direction, however, do not turn the screw more than one full turn.

Remember to return the screw to the original setting before starting your next project.

Tensión de los hilos

La tensión de los hilos afectará la calidad de las puntadas: puede requerir cierto ajuste cuando cambia de tejido o hilo.

NOTA:

Le recomendamos hacer una prueba en un pedazo de tela antes de empezar a coser en el tejido de trabajo.

NOTA:

La tensión del hilo inferior ya ha sido ajustada en la fábrica para los usos comunes. Por lo tanto, para la mayoría de las costuras, no se requerirá ningún ajuste adicional.

Sin embargo, al coser con hilo delgado en tejidos finos, no se puede ajustar la tensión del hilo mediante el disco de control de la tensión superior. En esos casos, la tensión del hilo deberá ser ajustada de acuerdo con el proceso descrito a continuación.

I.La tensión del hilo inferior es insuficiente. Aparecen bagas en la superficie del tejido. Disminuya la tensión del hilo al girar el disco hacia un número inferior. Si el resultado no le conviene aún, ajuste la tensión del hilo de la canilla tal como se indica a continuación.

I-1 CANILLA

Aumente la tensión en la canilla al girar el tornillo, con el pequeño destornillador suministrado, en el sentido de las manillas de un reloj; sin embargo, no conviene darle más de una vuelta completa.

No olvide volver a colocar el tornillo en su posición original antes de empezar otra obra de costura.
