Singer 1411 - Thread Tension Regulation

REGULATING
THE
THREAD
TENSION
Generally,
thread
tension
should
be
controlled
by
the
thread
tension
dial.
Bobbin thread
tension has
been
adjusted
at
the
factory
and
readjustment
is scarecely
needed
except for
special
stitch,
thread
and
fabric. Bobbin
thread
tension
is
just
right
when
you
can
pull
the
thread
from
bobbin case
easily
with
a
little
resistance.
Thread
tension
may
be
adjusted
by tightening
or
loosening
the
thread
tension
dial,
if necessary.

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
fabric,
thickness
of
the
fabric,
numbers
of
layers
of
fabric
being
sewn,
as
well
as
the
type
of
stitch
you
are
making.
lt
is better
to
test
the
stitching
on
a
scrap
of
the
fabric
you
are
using
before
starting
to
make
a
garment.
