TENSION
CONTROL
Probably
the
most
important
control
on your
machine
is
this
one
that
regulates
your
top thread tension
.
It
consists
of
discs
between
which
the thread
passes
.
The
pressure
on
these
discs
is
regulated
by
turning the
dial
on
the
front
of
the
control
.
The
higher the
number,
the
tighter
the
tension
.
There
are
many
reasons
for
having
to
reset
your
tension
.
The
best tension
for
one
fabric
may
not
be
correct
for
another
.
The
required
tension
depends
upon
the
stiffness
of
the
fabric,
thickness
of the
fabric,
numbers
of
layers
of
fabric
being
sewn,
as
well
as the type
of stitch
you
are
making
.
It
is
best
to test
the
stitching
on
a
scrap
of
the
fabric
you
are
using
before
starting
to
make
a
garment
.
To
adjust
for
the
correct
stitch,
