2. Lay both threads to the back under the presser foot.
Correct tension is
important. All
tension adjustment
is accomplished with
the needle thread
tension control.
1. When an even
amount of the
tension is extended
on both threads, a
smooth even stitch
known as balanced
stitch is produced.
2.When zig-zag
stitching, correct
tension will slightly
show upper thread
at fabric reverse side.
3.Upper thread
tension too loose will
pull needle thread
downward to bobbin
thread to show on reverse side. Adjust tension upward toward "+".
4. Too tight upper thread tension will pull bobbin thread to the upper fabric.
Adjust tension down toward " ".
