How do I adjust thread tension for embroidering?
When embroidering, the thread tension should be set so that the upper thread can slightly be seen on the wrong side of the fabric.
- Correct Thread Tension
- Upper Thread is Too Tight
- Upper Thread is Too Loose
- Adjusting Overall Upper Thread Tension
Correct Thread Tension

Follow the operations described below to adjust thread tension according to the situation.
If the thread tension setting is made extremely loose, the machine may stop during embroidering. This is not the sign of a malfunction. Increase the thread tension slightly, and begin embroidering again.

- When you retrieve a saved pattern, the thread tension setting will be the same as when the pattern was saved.
