Balancing top thread tension
The top thread and the bobbin thread
should interlock in the center of two layers
of fabric in straight seams.
Set the desired number of the thread
tension dial at setting mark.
Loosen the needle thread tension by
moving the dial to a lower number.
Tighten the needle thread tension by
moving the dial to a higher number.
NOTE: In order to obtain better zigzag stitches, the top thread tension should be
slightly weaker than the bobbin thread tension. That means, the top thread
should appear slightly on the reverse side of the fabric, but the bobbin thread
c
annot appear on the top side of the fabric.
Drawing up bobbin thread
