Upper thread

Bobbin thread

THREAD TENSION

THREAD TENSION

- Basic thread tension setting:  "4"
- To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To reduce the tension, turn the dial

to the next number down.

- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch functions and fabrics.
- 90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5" ("4" is basic setting).
- For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch and less fabric puckering when the

upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.
