Preparations Presser foot pressure The presser foot pressure has been pre-set to the standard value "N". In most cases, you do not need to adjust the presser foot pressure. When using specialty techniques, or when sewing on very light or heavy fabric, adjusting the pressure can improve the result. For very light fabrics, loosen the pressure by turning the dial counterclockwise. Note: If the dial is turned counterclockwise too much, it could come off. If this happens, simply replace the dial and turn it clockwise until it stays in place. For heavy fabric, tighten the pressure by turning the dial clockwise. Note: If the dial is turned clockwise until it comes to a stop, it has reached the maximum pressure available. Do not try to turn the dial any further! Thread tension To set the thread tension, turn the dial on top of the machine. Use the recommended thread tension setting given on the screen, see page 29. Depending on the fabric, batting, thread, etc, the tension may need to be adjusted. For the best stitch appearance and durability, make sure the needle thread tension is correctly adjusted. For general sewing, the threads evenly meet between the two layers of fabric. 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. Make a few tests on a scrap piece of the fabric you are going to sew and check the tension. 19
