Thread Tension To set the thread tension, turn the dial (A) on top of the machine. Use the recommended thread tension setting given on the screen. For the best stitch appearance and durability, make sure the needle thread tension is correctly adjusted, i.e. for general sewing, the threads evenly meet between the two fabric layers. Depending on the fabric, batting, thread, the selected stitch etc, the tension may need to be adjusted. If the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric, the needle thread tension is too tight. Reduce the needle thread tension. If top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric, the needle thread tension is too loose. Increase the needle thread tension. For decorative stitches and buttonholes, the top thread should be visible on the underside of the fabric. Mirroring To mirror stitches side to side, press the mirror side to side button.
