REGULATING
THREAD
TENSION
When
a
machine
is
received,
note
that it
has
been
threaded
correctly.
The
simplest
way to
rethreacl
it is
to
tie
the flCW
threads
to
those already
in
the
machine and
pull
the new
threads
through,
making
sure
that the
knots
will
go
through
the
looper
eyes
and
needles.
In
case
the machine
requires
a
complete
rethreading,
refer
to

The
amount
of tension
required
varies with
type
of
material,
size and
type
of
thread,
etc.
Adjust
individual
thread
tensions
as follows.
To
increase
tension
— Turn
nut
clockwise.
To
decrease tension—
Turn nut
anti-clockwise.
Tension
on thread
should
be
just enough
to
secure
proper
stitch formation.
Normally,
you
should
have more
tension
on the
needle
threads
and
less
tension
on the
looper
threads.
