Well-balanced thread tension
Straight stitch: Needle and bobbin threads interlace with each
other at the middle of the fabric thickness. (
Zigzag stitch: Needle thread is pulled a little bit to the wrong
sideof the fabric.
If the machine is set to "4", it is suitable for most fabrics. However,
adjustment may be necessary according to fabrics and sewing
applications.
If the tension is not correctly set, it will cause imbalanced stitch
formation, puckering, and/or thread breakage.
Needle thread
Bobbin thread
When the needle thread is too low:
The needle thread will be pulled to the wrong side of
fabric. Turn the thread tension adjustment dial to choose
larger number.
In case a correct tension setting is not obtained, check
thread paths for both needle and bobbin threads.
Move the drop feed knob to the right-hand side, in case the feed dog
is in the down position for free motion quilting, button sewing, etc.
* Move the drop feed knob to the left-hand side after sewing.
The feed dog will be engaged automatically when the machine
starts to sew.
