Looper Thread Tension Slider
This slider controls the looper thread tension.
Shifting this slider to the left will tighten the looper thread
tension for sewing on heavyweight fabrics.
The needle thread tensions should be tightened by
turning the tension dials when the slider is set to the left.
Shift the slider back to the right and return the tension
dials back to their original settings for normal sewing.
NOTE:
Increase the stitch length ans/or assist fabric feed with hands when
sewing over bulky layers.
Layers thicker than 6 mm may not be fed smoothly and may result
in skipped stitches and/or thread or needle breakage.
