Adjusting the thread tension
As a measure of the thread tension applied by the bobbin case, when
a bobbin (Cotton TEX40) is loaded in the bobbin case, the bobbin
should slowly drop by its own weight as illustrated in the figure.
* Adjust the needle thread tension in accordance with the bobbin
thread tension.
* The bobbin case for the J-350QVP is an exclusive JUKI part. Please
consult the JUKI dealers when you purchase it.
