2. Check that a needle and thread appropriate for the fabric are being used.

Refer to "Combination of fabric, thread and needle" to check that a needle and thread appropriate for the fabric are being used.

3. Select the appropriate setting on the thread tension.

Select an appropriate thread tension. The appropriate thread tension differs depending on the type of fabric and thread being used.

Adjust the thread tension while test sewing on a piece of scrap fabric that is the same as that used in your project.
If the upper threading and bobbin threading are incorrect, the thread tension cannot be adjusted correctly. Check the upper threading and bobbin threading first, and then adjust the thread tension.
