Straight stitch
An attractive seam is predominantly dependent on
the correct tension of the upper and lower threads.
If the thread tension is correct, the two threads
should interlock in the middle of your fabric.
You must probably adjust the thread tension if you
notice any irregularities in the seam pattern. You
must lower the presser foot to adjust the thread
tension.
A symmetrical thread tension (i.e. identical seam pat-
tern above and below) is normally only desired for
straight stitching.

Setting the tension
of the thread
For 90 % of your sewing, you will only need to set
the thread tension adjustment wheel to „ 5 ”. The
thread tension adjustment wheel is located on the
machine head.
Tip: By slightly pushing the 5 basic setting in +
or - direction, a better stitch pattern is usually
achieved.
