Tension too tight

If the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric,
the thread tension/thread portioning is too tight. Reduce the
thread tension/thread portioning.

Tension too loose

If the upper thread is visible on the back side of the fabric,
the thread tension/thread portioning is too loose. Increase
the thread tension/thread portioning.

For decorative stitches and buttonholes the upper thread
should be visible on the back side of the fabric.

Make a few tests on a scrap piece of the fabric you are going
to use and check the tension.

Mirroring

1. Mirror end to end

2. Mirror side to side

To mirror a stitch or stitch program lengthwise, touch the
mirror end to end button. To mirror a stitch or stitch
program sideways, touch the mirror side to side button.

Tip: Use the smart toolbox to open a shortcut for mirroring.

Note: Some stitches e.g. buttonholes cannot be mirrored.
