(A) for heavy tension (set from 4 to 7)

 

(B) for light tension (set from 4 to 2)

 

(C) for medium tension (set from 5 to 3)

 

There is a thread tension adjustment dial for each needle thread, the lowerlooper thread and the upperlooper thread. The correct thread tension may vary according to the type and thickness of the fabric and the type of thread used. Thread tension adjustments may be necessary for any change in sewing materials. If the stitch quality is insufficient, select a different tension setting.

 

Adjusting the thread tension

(1) To select the correct tension, refer to the illustration of the thread tension dial above.
(2) If you cannot find the correct tension, refer to the chart of thread tension adjustment on the operation manual.
