Thread Tension
It is very important to make sure that the bobbin tension is properly set rst, see page 26 for
directions on setting the bobbin tension. As long as you have your bobbin tension correct, you should
be able to x the tension by adjusting only the top tension. If you are unable to x your tension by only
adjusting the top tension you may need to re-adjust the bobbin tension.
If the bobbin thread is
being pulled through the
top layer of fabric. you
need to decrease the
tension on the top thread
by turning the top tension
knob counterclockwise.
If the top thread is
being pulled through the
bottom layer of fabric,
you need to increase
the tension on the top
thread by turning the top
tension knob clockwise.
If the thread is properly
tensioned. the top thread
and the bobbin thread will
knot in the middle of the
fabric layers.
