Whenstitchingis unsatisfactoryas in figures2 and3, adjusttheupperthread

tension Lower thread tension requires

adjustment less frequently than the upper thread tension.

When stitch is satisfactory, as in figure

1 and seam is badly puckered, the cause

may be tight tensions and both upper

and lower may be adjusted. (See page 32)

When adjusting the tension on the

bobbin case, make slight adjustments

with a screwdriver (See page 32)

It is necessary to reduce the upper thread tension somewhat when doing

decorative stitching,. As the stitch width is increased, the tension should

be decreased (See page t7)
