You should adjust the tension manually if the LCD screen
shows a tension setting other than AUTO.
You may also need to adjust tension manually depending
on the sewing conditions such as the type of fabric and
number of layers.
If the needle thread is too tight, the bobbin thread
appears on the right side of the fabric.
