Thread tension
Your machine automatically sets the best thread
tension for the selected stitch. The thread tension
can be adjusted for specialty thread, techniques or
fabric. Touch + to increase and - to decrease the
needle thread tension.
Correct and incorrect thread tension
For the best stitch appearance and durability make
sure the needle thread tension is correctly adjusted,
i.e. for general sewing, the threads evenly meet
between the two fabric layers (A).
If the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the
fabric, the needle thread tension is too tight. Reduce
the needle thread tension (B).
If the needle thread is visible on the back side of the
fabric, the needle thread tension is too loose (C).
Increase the needle thread tension.
For buttonholes and decorative stitches the needle
thread should be visible on the underside of the
fabric (C). Reduce the needle thread tension to bring
the needle thread back side of the fabric.
