The tension on the needle thread should only be

regulated when the presser foot is down. Having

lowered the presser foot, turn the small thumb nut

(A, Fig. 15, page 17) at the front of the tension discs

over to the right to increase the tension. To decrease

the tension, turn the thumb nut over to the left.

The tension on the bobbin thread is regulated by

the larger screw (A, Fig. IS, page 20) which is nearest

the back in the bobbin case tension spring. To

increase the tension, turn the screw over toward

you. To decrease the tension, turn the screw over

from you.

When the tension on the bobbin thread has been

once properly adjusted it is seldom necessary to

change it, as a correct stitch can usually be obtained

by varying the tension on the needle thread.

To Turn a Corner

Stop the machine with the needle at its lowest

point. Raise the presser foot and turn the work as

desired, using the needle as a pivot.

To Regulate the Tensions

To Regulate the Length of Stitch

The length of the stitch is regulated by the feed

regulating disc (D, Fig. 17, page 19) located on the

bed of the machine, at the right. This disc is marked

with arbitrary numbers, ranging from 6 to 30, which

indicate the various lengths of stitches that the

machine will make. No. 6 being the longest stitch

and No. 30 the shortest stitch (The numerals do

not denote the number of stitches to the inch). The

length of stitch that the machine is ready to make

is indicated by the number nearest the arrow

marked on the cloth plate of the machine.
