Drawing Up Bobbin Thread

z Raise the presser foot. Hold the needle thread lightly

with your left hand.

Adjust the Needle Thread Tension for a Straight

Stitch

•Auto-thread tension

This machine features the Auto setting in the tension

control, which covers wide range of sewing condition.

Set the tension control dial at “A” for general sewing,

unless specifically indicated in this manual.

• Correct tension

q Needle thread (Top thread)

w Bobbin thread (Bottom thread)

e To loosen

r To tighten

The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two

layers of fabric, as illustrated (magnified to show detail).

If you look at the top and bottom of a seam, notice that

the stitches are evenly balanced.

When adjusting the needle thread tension, the higher the

number, the tighter the top thread tension.

Results depend on:

- stiffness and thickness of the fabric

- number of fabric layers

- type of stitch

•Tension is too tight

thread is pulled up and will appear on the right side of

the fabric. Turn the dial to a lower tension setting number

to loosen the needle thread tension.

lower and raise the needle to pick up the bobbin thread.
