Utility
stitches
and
practical
sewing
Needle
thread
tension
To
ensure
perfect
sewing
results,
the
needle
and
bobbin
thread
tensions
must
be
perfectly
tuned
to
each
other
. The
normal
setting
for
utility
stitches
is in
the
range
of 4-5.
Check the
tension
with
a
wide
zigzag
stitch.
The
threads
must
be
interlaced
between
the
two
fabric
pieces.
If
the
needle
thread
tension
is too
high
the
threads
are
interlaced
above
the
top
fabric.
If the
needle
thread
tension
is too
low,
the
threads
are
interlaced
below
the
lower
fabric.
The
adjustment
of the
needle
thread
tension
is
described
on
page
15
and
the
bobbin
thread
tension
on
page
8.

(1530, 1520)
can
be
sewn
using
any
of

various
needle
positions
in
such
a
way
that
you
can
always
guide
the
sewing
foot
along
the
fabric
edge
for top-stitching
work.
The
top-stitch
needle
position
is
determined
by
the
needle
position
dial.
If
you
wish
to
top-stitch
farther from
the
fabric edge,
simply
guide
the
fabric
along
the
guide
marks
on
the
needle
plate
or
use
the

(standard

is
inserted
into
hole
A
and
is
secured
with
fixing
screw B.
