Setting thread tension
The following pages contain directions for
setting thread tensions for all programs.
Adjust the tension by turning the tensioning
wheel until the dot marker is at the desired
setting.
The settings for adjusting thread tension are
recommendations. Fabric type, thread qual-
ity and needle gauge will influence seam
results. Always sew off a test seam onto a
piece of scrap fabric and check the thread
loops. Adjust the thread tension if necessary.
Tip:
as practice, use threads that match the
tension dials, e.g. thread the upper looper
with red thread, the lower looper with yel-
low thread, etc.
Note:
in the program overview on Pages 30
and 31, you will find the appropriate settings
for each individual program.
