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 for 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 is slightly drawn to the left side of the fabric
