Thread

Tension

The

tension

box

is

provided

with

a

pointer

and

a

de-

marcation

line.

When

both

form

one

line,

then

the

tension

is

properly

adjusted

for

ordinary

sewing

and

darning

and

it

will

seldom

be

found

necessary

to

make

a

change.

Only

for

special

works

the

tension

may

be

changed

by

turning

the

tension

nut.

To

increase

the

tension,

turn

the

nut

over

to

the

right.

To

decrease

the

tension,

turn

the

nut

over

to

the

left.

For

ordinary

sewing

set

the

pointer

again

on

the

demarcation

line,

as

well

as

when

the

tension

should

have

been

changed

for

cleaning.
