This machine adjusts the thread tension automatically
when you select a pattern.
However, you can change the thread tension as follows.
1. Touch the thread tension button.
The state of thread tension is displayed with
numerical value and scale. (Thread tension screen)
2. Change the thread tension with function buttons:
•To return to default tension, touch the function
button (a).
•To weaker the tension, touch the function button (b).
•To stronger the tension, touch the function button (c).
* Preset tension number is highlighted.
* You can start sewing on this thread tension screen as
it is.
* When you reselect a pattern, tension will return to
default.
Thread tension except for straight stitch
When sewing stitches other than straight stitch, thread
tension is automatically adjusted to be weaker than
when sewing a straight stitch.
This will cause upper needle thread to appear on the
bottom side of fabric, resulting in better stitching.
Helpful Hints
If your sewing appears as shown on the right, (stitches
on the top side of fabric are good but bottom side tends
to look like a towel), it could be that the upper thread
is not threaded correctly. Refer to page 18 for correct
threading.
* Also, if the bobbin thread comes out on the front side of the fabric
even though the thread tension is set to the automatic setting value,
the way of setting bobbin is wrong. Refer to page 17 and set the
bobbin correctly.
