The thread tension becomes tighter as the dials are turned to higher numbers. The tension settings shown on
this page as well as throughout the operator’s manual are suggested guides. Adjust thread tensions to suit the
fabric and size of thread used. For best results make tension adjustments in small increments of no greater
than half a number at a time
