Upper thread tension may be adjusted by turning
the thread tension dial.
Lower thread tension can be increased by turning the screw of the bobbin case slightly to the right
(clockwise). Turning to the left (anti-clockwise) decreases tension.
Caution:
Before you adjust the tension please check your threading. It is important that you use the same
thread size for upper- and lower thread. Should there be great loops check upper thread tension. If
you use different yarn sizes we recommend a second bobbin case, so there is no need to adjust the
initial setting.
