Adjusting the Thread Tension

After sewing trial stitches and checking the sewing
results, adjust the thread tensions if necessary. After
adjusting the tensions, be sure to sew trial stitches again
in order to check the sewing results.

■ Adjusting the Upper Thread Tension

We recommend an upper thread tension that is higher
than the standard setting.
Refer to the machine's Operation Manual for detailed
instruction.
■ Adjusting the Tension of the Bobbin Thread
If the desired stitching cannot be achieved after
adjusting the upper thread tension, adjust the tension of
the bobbin thread. The tension of the bobbin thread can
be adjusted by turning the slotted-head (–) screw on the
bobbin case (gray) for bobbin work.
a Do not turn the phillips screw (+).
b
Adjust with the small screwdriver.
To increase the tension of the bobbin thread, turn the
slotted-head (–) screw 30° to 45° clockwise.
To decrease the tension of the bobbin thread, turn the
slotted-head (–) screw 30° to 45° counterclockwise.
Note
• Turning the screw on the bobbin case (gray) may
push up the spring plate, as shown below.
If this occurs, gently press down the spring plate
with a screwdriver so it is lower than the top surface
of the bobbin case (gray), and then insert the bobbin
case into the machine.
