Thread tension
Basic tension settings apply
automatically when a stitch or
program is selected. The tension is
factory set for best possible sewing
results using a 100 weight, 3 ply
polyester thread (100/3).
The tension may vary when using
other types of thread such as
embroidery thread, and it may be
necessary to adjust it to suit the
fabric and stitch type.
Changes can be made to the tension
of any stitch without affecting any
other stitches. To do this, the tension
function is accessed with the
external TTC button. It can also be
placed as a function on the toolbar
on the lower part of the screen and
accessed directly from the screen
(see page 26).
