When of using other types of sewing threads, the optimal upper thread tension may vary. Therefore it may
be necessary to adjust the upper thread tension individually according to the sewing project as well as the
desired stitch pattern.
The higher the upper thread tension, the tighter the upper thread which means that the bobbin thread is
pulled up to the top of the fabric. When the upper thread tension is low, the upper thread is less tightened
which means that the bobbin thread is pulled up less.
Alterations of the upper thread tension affect the currently selected stitch pattern. Permanent alterations of
the upper thread tension for the sewing mode (see page49) can be made in the Setup Program.
Prerequisite:
• In the Setup Program the upper thread tension has been altered.
> Touch the icon «Upper thread tension».
> Move the slide using the touchscreen pen/finger to increase or reduce the upper thread tension.
> Touch the yellow-framed icon on the right to reset the alterations to default setting.
> Touch the yellow-framed icon on the left to reset the alterations to default setting in the Setup
Program.
