ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION

•Thread tension of your machine has been preset at factory to suit most sewing applications

But some threads and fabrics require readjusting thread

tension to improve stitch appearance and prevent skipping.

•Adjust thread tension by slightly turning tension dial.

•Always double check threading before trying to adjust thread tension.

•Make a test sample to find a proper tension before sewing on your fabric.
