Adjusting the thread tension dials
There is a thread tension dial for each needle thread, the looper thread and the top cover 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.
