THREAD TENSION

- Basic thread tension setting: "4"
- To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up.

To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.

- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch

functions and fabrics.

- 90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5" ("4" is basic

setting).

- 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.
