Set Up
Thread tension
Your machine automatically sets the best thread tension for the
selected stitch and fabric. Go to the SET Menu to adjust the
thread tension for specialty thread, techniques or fabric (see page
28).
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 (1).
If the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric, the
needle thread tension is too tight (2). Reduce the needle thread
tension.
If top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric, the needle
thread tension is too loose (3). Increase the needle thread tension.
Note: For decorative stitches and buttonholes the top thread should be visible
on the underside of the fabric.
EXCLUSIVE SENSOR SYSTEM™
(ESS)
Sensor Foot Pressure
Thanks to the Sensor Foot Pressure, the presser foot actually
senses the thickness of fabric, embroidery or stitching to sew
over it smoothly and evenly with perfect fabric feeding.
If you want to see the actual setting of the presser foot pressure
for the selected fabric and adjust the pressure manually, go to the
SET Menu (see page 28).
Sensor Foot Lift
The presser foot on your sewing machine is raised and lowered in
four levels with the Sensor Foot Up and Down buttons (see page
25).
The presser foot is automatically lowered when you start sewing.
When you stop with the needle in the down position, the presser
foot automatically senses the thickness of the fabric and raises
the presser foot to just the right height to
Á
oat over the fabric for
pivoting. Go to the SET Menu to turn off this function (see page
28).
