Adjusting the thread tension
CAUTION:
The standard bobbin thread tension is such that
the bobbin case goes down slowly when you hold
the open end of the bobbin thread and shake it as
shown at right. (The count of the thread is #50.)
* Adjust the needle thread tension in accordance
with the bobbin thread tension.
* The bobbin case is an exclusive JUKI part. Please
consult the JUKI dealers when you purchase it.
■ Proper thread tension
Improperly adjusted thread tension may
cause puckering on materials, inferior
stitches, or thread breakage.
