ADJUSTING TENSIONS
Adjusting tensions is often the most concerning adjustment for newer operators. While each
machine is individual and may have slightly different tensions, the adjustment for each machine is
the same.
The above figure (Fig 20) demonstrates what perfect tensions should look like. The thicker your
material, this will be easier to achieve.
The above figure (Fig 21) demonstrates what incorrect tensions can look like. To resolve this issue,
you may need to INCREASE your top tension or DECREASE your bobbin tension.
The above figure (Fig 22) demonstrates what incorrect tensions can look like. To resolve this issue,
you may need to DECREASE your top tension or INCREASE your bobbin tension.
To adjust your top tension, follow the instructions on “Adjusting upper tensions”
To adjust your bottom tension, follow the instructions on “Adjusting bobbin tensions”
