To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To

A. Normal thread tension for straight stitch sewing.
B. Thread tension too loose for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial

C. Thread tension too tight for straight stitch sewing. Turn dial to

Please note:
- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all stitch
functions, thread on fabric.
- A balanced tension (identical stitches both top and bottom) is
usually only desirable for straight stitch construction sewing.
- 90% of all sewing will be between 3 and 5 ("AUTO" is basic
setting).
- For zig zag and decorative sewing stitch functions, thread
tension should generally be less than for straight stitch
sewing.
- For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch
and less fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on
the bottom side of your fabric.
