How to adjust thread tension
Adjust thread tension to suit the type of material and size of the thread used. Tension becomes tighter as
the tension dial is turned up toward the plus sign (+).
• Correct thread tension
Be sure the threads are correctly threaded since otherwise proper thread tension cannot be obtained (See
page 6).

Correct thread tension can be obtained when the thread tension dials are set as follows.
(1) Turn the needle thread tension dial and
the left and right looper thread tension
dials toward the minus sign (—) until the
dials stop.
(2) When the dials stop, turn the dials toward
the plus sign (+) as shown in table below
and set the needle tension dial and left
and right looper thread tension dials to
suit the material to be sewn. Slight
adjustment will give better thread ten
