IMPORTANT
: Before adjusting your top tension remember to floss the top thread
between the tension discs or it will float outside the discs providing little or no
top tension. This could cause significant tension or thread nesting problems.
QUILTING TIP:
Test the tension settings before quilting. The best way to make
sure the top and bottom tension settings are balanced is to test the stitching
using a fabric scrap. Keep 4-inch squares of light solid fabric on hand to place at
the side of the quilt on the extra batting and backing. Then stitch loops, swirls,
and straight lines. Look at the stitches on top and underneath to ensure the
tension looks good. Fine-tune the tension as needed.
To adjust the top tension
1. Test stitching with a fabric scrap placed on the extra batting and
backing at the side of the quilt.
2. Adjust the tension by turning the tension
dial clockwise to tighten and counter-
clockwise to loosen. The tension value
appears on the touch screen. The value
changes as you turn the tension dial.
3. Continue to test the stitching on the
fabric scrap and adjust the tension until
the stitches are ideal for the project.
