The bobbin case (with no color on the screw) can
be adjusted when bobbin tension changes are

If this occurs, turn the slotted-head screw (-)
clockwise, being careful not to over-tighten the
screw, approximately 30-45 degrees to increase
bobbin tension.
Note
• With “Embroidery Tension” on the setting
screen, the tension of the upper thread can
be adjusted for embroidering. The selected
setting will be applied to all patterns.
When embroidering, if the overall tension of
the upper thread is too tight or too loose,
adjust it from the setting screen. Press
to tighten the upper thread tension and
press to loosen the upper tension. If an
individual embroidery pattern needs
additional fine tuning, refer to “Adjusting
Thread Tension” on page E-30.
