After setting the bobbin tension, test the top tension by stitching on a fabric scrap on the edge of the quilt batting
and backing. Increase or decrease as needed until you have achieved balanced tension. Make a note of the type
of thread (weight, brand, color) you’re using and the tension value. You will be able to quickly and easily set the
tension when you use this same thread again in the future.
Bobbin Thread Indicator
If you use the Low-Bobbin feature, the Bobbin Thread
Indicator box (Figure 28) shows how much bobbin
thread remains on the bobbin. The value counts down
until it gets to zero, at which time the low-bobbin alarm
alerts you that it is time to put in a new bobbin. While
the machine is recording how much thread is on a
bobbin, REC appears on the screen to remind you that it
is estimating the bobbin capacity.

Up/Down/Tie-Off
The button with the needle image in the center of the
screen (Figure 29) can assist you in creating tie-off
stitches, basting or needle-positioning functions without
the use of the foot pedal. Quickly pressing and releasing
the button will send the needle to the next needle stop
position. If the needle is up, pressing the button causes
the needle to move to the down position. If the needle
is down, it returns to the up position.
Pressing and holding the button for a longer time
performs a full stitch. As long as you continue to hold
the button down the machine will continue to stitch
at a slow rate, and when the button is released the
needle will stop in the closest stop position (up or down)
available. This action is useful to tie off beginning and
ending stitches.

Needle Stop
The Needle Stop setting enables you to specify whether
you want the needle to end in the up or down position
when you stop quilting. If you select Down, when you
release the foot pedal the needle ends in the down
position. If you select Up, the needle ends in the up
position when you release the foot pedal. Switch
between the up and down position by pressing the
Needle Stop button (Figure 30).
