Thread Tension
Adjust the thread tension of the upper thread with the thread
tension dial (9. on page 4).
The initial position for the thread tension dial is «4». For most
applications this adjustment will give suitable upper thread tension.
Depending on the material and the thickness of the embroidery
thread, as well as of the fabric stitched on, it might be required to
tweak the upper thread tension. It is recommended to embroider
first a sample for every project. Adjust the upper thread tension
according to the results on the sample.
Balanced thread tension:
Small amount of the needle thread shows on the wrong side of the
fabric.
If the needle thread tension is too tight:
The bobbin thread shows on the right side of the fabric. Reduce the
tension by turning the tension dial to a lower number.
1. Bobbin thread
If the needle tension is too loose:
The needle thread forms loops and the stitches look loose. Increase
the tension by turning the dial to a higher number.
