Adjusting the Thread Tension
When embroidering, the thread tension should be set so

Correct Thread Tension
The upper thread can be slightly visible from the
wrong side of the fabric. If the thread tension is not
set correctly, the stitching may be uneven, there
may be puckering in the fabric, or the thread may
break.
Follow the procedures described below to adjust the
thread tension according to the current condition.
Note
To continue a pattern that has had its position
changed (see page 135), move the pattern the same
amount in the layout display screen, then follow the
steps above. In this case, you need to make a note of
the pattern’s position before turning off the power.
Memo

bobbin is not set correctly, it may not be possible to
set the correct thread tension. If the correct thread
tension cannot be achieved, rethread the upper
thread or reset the bobbin.
