ADJUSTING TOP THREAD TENSION
STRAIGHT STITCHING
The correct appearance of your stitching is largely determined
by the balanced tension of both top and bobbin threads. The
tension is well balanced when these two threads ‘lock’ in the
middle of layers of fabric you are sewing.
If, when you start to sew, you find that the stitching is irregular,
you will need to adjust the tension control.

BOBBIN TENSION
The bobbin tension has been correctly set at the factory, so
you do not need to adjust it.
