Top Tension
The top tension is controlled with the tension dial. Normal
tension is when the indicator is centered. After the bobbin
tension is set the tensions should balance in the center of the
fabric as shown.
If adjustment is required, sew a test and turn the top tension dial
until the right tension is achieved. Open the top cover and locate
the adjusting screw. Loosen the screw and center the indicator.
Tighten the screw and recheck the adjustment.
Your machine will sew on most fabrics without requiring tension
adjustment. If you are using heavier thread or very thick fabric
you may have to increase the tension.
The result you should look for in tension is for the knot to be
formed in the center of the fabric.
