The thread tensions become tighter as the dials are turned to higher numbers. This is indicated through
out the manual. (+) symbol means tighter tension or higher number and (—) means looser tension or
lower number. 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.
