Adjusting Thread Tension
When embroidering, the thread tension should be
set so that the upper thread can slightly be seen on
the wrong side of the fabric.
■ Correct Thread Tension
The pattern can be seen from the wrong side of the
fabric. If the thread tension is not set correctly, the
pattern will not finish well. The fabric may pucker or
the thread may break.

MAKING EMBROIDERY ADJUSTMENTS
• If the thread tension setting is made extremely
loose, the machine may stop during
embroidering. This is not the sign of a
malfunction. Increase the thread tension
slightly, and begin embroidering again.
• If the bobbin thread was incorrectly threaded,
the upper thread may appear to be too tight.
In this case, refer to “Setting the Bobbin” on
page 19 and rethread the bobbin thread.
