Thread Tension
To set the thread tension, turn the dial on the machine. Depend-
ing on the fabric, thread, etc, the tension may need to be adjust-
ed. For the best stitch appearance and durability, make sure the
needle thread tension is correctly adjusted. For general sewing,
the threads evenly meet between the two layers of fabric (A).
If the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric, the
needle thread tension is too tight (B). Reduce the needle thread
tension.
If top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric, the needle
thread tension is too loose (C). Increase the needle thread
tension.
For decorative stitches and buttonholes, the top thread should
be visible on the underside of the fabric.
Make a few tests on a scrap piece of the fabric you are going to
sew and check the tension.
1. Push presser foot release lever to remove the foot.
2. Place the desired foot on the needle plate aligning the press-
er foot pin with the foot holder.
3. Lower the presser foot lifter so that the foot holder snaps on
the foot.
