Needle-Thread Tension

REGULATING NEEDLE-THREAD TEN­
SION

The tension dial regulates the degree of ten­
sion on your needle thread. Set it according to
the type of thread and fabric you use. The

numbers on the dial are for reference and

eliminate guesswork in duplicating settings.

Correct tension is important because too

much or too little will weaken your seams or

cause your fabric to pucker. Be sure your

machine is threaded correctly and make a

test sample with the fabric and thread you
plan to use, and examine it.

To Decrease Tension

A perfect stitch will have the needle and bob­

bin threads locked between the two layers of

fabric with no loops on top or bottom and no

puckers.

♦ If the top stitches in your test sample look

loose, increase needle-thread tension by

turning the dial to a higher number.

♦ If the fabric puckers, decrease needle-

thread tension by turning the dial to a lower

number.
