clockwise,
or
toward you. To decrease, turn iaway from you. The
higher the number on the dial the tighter the ten

threaded
properly.
When
necessary
to
change the bobbin tension, tum small screw (Fig.

When
the
upper

under

are
properly
balanced, a perfect stitch will be formed with both
threads interlocking in fabric (|Fig. 15).
When the upper tension is too ti^ht, the lower thread
is pulled up over the upper thread which is lying
flat on the fabric.
When the under tension is too tifht, the upper thread
forms loops over the lower thread lying flat on the
fabric.
