Thread Tension ( 2 threads)
(Standard stitch width)
Correct tension
 Adjusting the thread tension may be required
     depending on the type of fabric and thread
     being used.
     To begin with, select the stitch pattern key
     and sew a test piece.
     If the tension balance on the test piece is not
     satisfactory, you can adjust the thread ten-
     sion manually, as follows;
1 Wrong side of fabric
2 Right side of fabric
3 Right needle thread
4 Lower looper thread
5 Right needle thread tension
6 Lower looper thread tension
Wrong tension
Wrong tension
     The illustration shows sewing results when the
     needle thread tension is too tight and/or
     lower looper thread tension is too loose.
Remedy:
     Loosen needle thread tension and/or tighten
     lower looper thread tension.
     The illustration shows sewing results when the
     lower looper thread tension is too tight and/
     or needle thread tension is too loose.
Remedy:
     Loosen lower looper thread tension and/or
     tighten needle thread tension.
