Checking the thread tension
Correct stitches
The tension of the upper and lower thread should be suffi cient to
ensure that the threads interlace in the middle of the fabric.
The fabric remains smooth and does not pucker.

Top
Incorrect stitches
Upper thread is too tight and pulls the lower thread up. The lower
thread is visible on the upper fabric layer.
Solution:
Reduce the upper thread tension by turning the upper thread tension
regulator
3
to a lower number.
Upper thread is too loose. The lower thread pulls the upper thread
down. The upper thread is visible on the underside of the fabric layer.
Solution:
Increase the upper thread tension by turning the upper thread tension
regulator
3
to a higher number.
Setting the needle end position
The sewing machine has an automatic needle positioning mechanism
which always brings the needle into the top or bottom position when
the sewing is completed.
You can set whether you want the needle to stop in the top or bottom
position.
When you start sewing, the automatic needle positioning mechanism is
always set to the top position as this is ideal for most work.
If you want to change the end position of the needle, proceed as
follows:
Press the needle position button
7
to set the position to the
bottom position.
The needle is moved to the bottom position.
Pressing the needle position button
7
again will bring the needle
back into the top position.
TIP
During sewing projects that require frequent changes of sewing
direction, it is useful to set the needle position to the bottom position:
this makes it easier to turn the material.
