Correct top tension - How to get it

This machine will automatically preset the tension for different types of stitches. Depending on what type of fabric and threads you are using, manual adjustments might be needed.

If you find that the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric or that the top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric, you need to adjust the thread tension.

Press the thread tension icon (A), + and - to set the required amount of the needle thread tension. Your adjustments will be reset when you select a new stitch or design. To save your alterations for the next time you sew see page 3:12.

The following is valid for general sewing work:

Bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric:

The needle thread tension is too tight.

The needle thread tension must be reduced.

Top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric:

The needle thread tension is too loose.

The needle thread tension must be increased.

For decorative stitches and buttonholes the top thread should be visible on the underside of the fabric.
