Regulating the thread tensions needle thread tension correct *The thread tension is normal ly regulated by altering the r'eedle thread tension. increase needle thread tension or (A) If the bobbin thread runs in a straight line on the underside of the material, the needle thread tension is too loose. If you cannot remove this fault by increasing the needle thread ten sion, you may have to decrease the bobbin thread tension as shown in A. Correct regulation of the thread tensions is important for obtaining durable and tidy seams. If one of the tensions is not correct, untidy seams will be the result. The tensions are regulated as shown in the illustrations. Remarks:*The correct tension setting depends on the fabric used. It is best to try out which is the best tension on a piece of waste material, fF decrease needle thread tension or (B) If the needle thread runs in a straight line on the top side of the material, the needle thread tension is set too tight. If the latter is set at number 4 or lower this fault should not normally occur. If it does, it is perhaps necessary to increase the bobbin thread tension as shown in B. 17
