The Tension Dial
When the spool thread locks with the bobbin
thread they should both hold tightly to each
other. This is called equal tension. When the
top thread is tighter or looser than the bottom
thread, the tension is unequal and you must
adjust the tension dial.
When the tension is just right, you will get a
smooth, flat seam. Test the tension on some
scrap material. If your tension is unequal, turn
the tension dial a little at a time until you get
a perfect seam.
How to adjust tension
If your stitching looks like this, make it
tighter by turning the tension dial to the
right.
If your stitching looks like this, make it loos-
er by turning the tension dial to the left.
When your stitching looks like this, the ten-
sion is just right.
