Balanced Thread Tension
For straight stitch sewing, both needle and
bobbin threads will join at the middle of the
fabrics.

To obtain better zigzag stitches, the needle
thread tension should be slightly weaker than in
the case of straight sewing.
The needle thread should appear slightly on the
reverse side of the fabric.

Manual Thread Tension Adjustment
Set the desired number of the thread tension dial
at setting mark.
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.
