STRAIGHT STITCHING

The correct appearance of your stitching is largely determined by the balanced tension of both top and bobbin threads. The tension is well balanced when these two threads "lock" in the middle of layers of the fabric you are sewing.

If, when you start to sew, you find that the stitching is irregular, you will need to adjust the tension control.

Make any adjustments with presser foot "down". A balanced tension (identical stitches on both top and bottom) is usually only desirable for straight stitch sewing.

POINT DROIT

Une belle apparence du point est g r a n d e m e n t i n f l u e n c é p a r l e b o n équilibre entre le fil de la canette et le fil supérieur. Elle est parfaite lorsque les deux fils se nouent entre les deux épaisseurs de tissu.

Si, lorsque vous débutez une couture, vous vous apercevez que le point est irrégulier, vous devrez ajuster la tension.

Équilibrée tous ces ajustement avec le pied presseur en position « Bas ».

Une tension est équilibrée (points identiques du fil supérieur et inférieur) et est souhaitable, lors de la couture au point droit seulement.

COSTURA RECTA

La apariencia correcta de tu costura es ampliamente determinada por la tensión equilibrada de ambos hilos, el superior y el de la bobina.

Si se encuentra que la costura es irregular, se necesitará ajustar el control de la tensión. Cualquier ajuste se ha de realizar con el pie prensatelas abajo.

Una tensión balanceada (puntadas idénticas arriba y abajo) normalmente es lo deseado para costura de puntadas rectas.

ZIG ZAG and DECORATIVE SEWING

For zigzag sewing and decorative stitch functions, thread tension should be less than for straight stitch sewing.

You will always obtain a nicer stitch and less puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

COUTURE ZIG ZAG ET DÉCORATIVE

Pour les fonctions de couture zigzag et décorative, la tension du fil doit être inférieure à celle de la couture de points droits.

Les points seront toujours plus beaux et moins froncés, lorsque le fil supérieur apparaît du côté inférieur du tissu.

COSTURA ZIG ZAG y DECORATIVA

Para las funciones de costura zigzag y decorativa, la tensión de hilo debe ser menor que para costura de puntadas rectas.

Siempre deberá obtener una costura bonita y menos arrugas cuando el hilo superior aparece del lado de debajo de su tejido.
