Trial sewing, thread tension
Sewing test
After threading make a trial run.
Always use a double layer of fabric
in order to be able to check the
stitch formation and thread tension
properly.
- Switch the machine on "I".
- Set all tension dials to 3.
- Raise the front of the presser foot
slightly with your thumb and
position the fabric under the foot
just up to the knife.
- Sew.
- At the end of the seam continue
sewing a 8cm (4") long thread
chain.
- Cut the thread chain and remove
work.
Check your trial run
1 Upper looper thread (blue)
2 Lower looper thread (red)
3 Right needle thread (green)
4 Left needle thread (yellow)
Perfect stitch formation is when
both looper threads meet at the
fabric edge. The needle threads
form straight stitches for a stretchy
and durable seam.
Thread tension adjustments may
be required depending on the type
of fabric and thread being used.
