Thread tension settings
Set the thread tension to suit the type of fabric and thread used.
As the number on the thread tension discs increases, the thread
tension becomes tighter.
Lower looper thread and upper looper thread should be well
balanced with the same tension (both looper threads should
cross at the edge of the fabrics). Needle threads should not be
too loose or too tight, but equally balanced tension.
See the stitch table on pages 23-26 for thread tension
recommendations for each stitch.
When the upper looper thread is too loose
The upper looper thread is unbalanced when it is pulled to the
wrong side of the fabric. Tighten the thread tension of the upper
looper (red) or loosen the thread tension of the lower looper
(yellow).
When the lower looper thread is too loose
The lower looper thread is unbalanced when it is pulled to the
right side of the fabric. Tighten the thread tension of the lower
looper (yellow) or loosen the thread tension of the upper looper
(red).
When the left needle thread is too loose
The left needle thread is too loose, tighten the thread tension
of the left needle (blue) or loosen both looper threads (red and
yellow).
When the right needle thread is to loose
The right needle thread is too loose, tighten the thread tension
of the right needle (green).
