Thread Tension

It is very important to make sure that the bobbin tension is properly set first

, see page 16 for

directions on setting the bobbin tension. As long as you have your bobbin tension correct, you should

be able to fix the tension by adjusting only the top tension. If you are unable to fix you tension by only

adjusting the top tension you may need to re-adjust the bobbin tension.

If the bobbin thread is

being pulled through the

top layer of fabric you

need to decrease the

tension on the top thread

by turning the top tension

knob counter-clockwise.

If the top thread is

being pulled through the

bottom layer of fabric

you need to increase

the tension on the top

thread by turning the top

tension knob clockwise.

If the thread is properly

tensioned the top thread

and the bobbin thread will

knot in the middle of the

fabric layers.
