TENSION
* The thread tension dials on this machine are a one-
turn system.
* As the number increases on the dial the thread
tension becomes tighter.
0 = lowest tension
9 = highest tension
* Be sure the machine is correctly threaded other
wise proper thread tension cannot be obtained.

it is recommended that
1) Adjustments be made in no greater than half
a number at a time.
2) Sew a test sample after each adjustment.
