ADJUSTING THREAD TENSIONS 

 

Thread tensions will vary according to the type and thickness of both thread and fabric. 
Adjust the thread tension of the machine accordingly while checking the seam. 
 
Thread tension: Turn dial toward smaller numbers, tension becomes loose. 

Turn dial toward larger numbers, tension becomes tight.
