When you wish to sew in reverse to tie the thread at the beginning or the end of a seam, set the stitch length lever to “R”
position. The machine will sew backward. Only 4 or 5 stitches are needed to tie a seam securely.
SEWING IN REVERSE
ADJUSTING THE TENSIONS
Always adjust the upper tension with the presser foot down, as the
tension is mechanically released when it is raised. To increase the tension on
the upper thread, turn dial (Fig. 13) to the left or clockwise. To decrease,
turn to the left. The higher the number on the dial the tighter the tension.
Before adjusting lower tension be sure that the machine is threaded properly.
When it is necessary to change the bobbin tension, turn small screw (Fig.
14) on side of the bobbin case clockwise to tighten, counter-clockwise to
loosen.
