Operating your ambition™ 620 Thread Tension 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. Your sewing machine electronically sets a thread tension for the selected stitch. Depending on the fabric, batting, thread etc, the tension may need to be adjusted. See page 30 for instructions on how to change the setting manually. 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.

Elongation
Elongation is used to lengthen satin stitches. The entire
stitch will be longer but the density will remain the
same. Press the alt button to show the elongation setting
instead of density for satin stitches. The icon (2) changes
to show an elongation symbol. Increase or decrease the
elongation of the satin stitch using the + and - buttons. If
elongation is not available for the selected stitch, a
warning sound will be heard when pressing the alt
button and the icon will not change.
Thread Tension
Correct tension
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. Your sewing machine electronically
sets a thread tension for the selected stitch. Depending
on the fabric, batting, thread etc, the tension may need
to be adjusted. See page 30 for instructions on how to
change the setting manually.
Tension too tight
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.
Tension too loose
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
Left: mirror side to side button. Right: mirror end to end button.
To mirror stitches or sequences side to side, press the
mirror side to side button. To mirror end to end, press
the mirror end to end button.
