Adjusting Needle-Thread Tension
Some Flexi-Stitch disc patterns require
more needle-thread tension than others.
Make a test sample with the fabric, thread
and presser foot you plan to use so that
you can adjust tension to suit the stitch
you have chosen.
For your test sample, set the tension dial
on 3 or 4. Notice the stitching; if the fabric
puckers, decrease tension by turning the
dial to a lower number. Sew at moderate
speed.
Before moving needle position and stitch
width selectors make sure needle is above
fabric and the stitch length dial is OFF
buttonhole settings.
