* If the stitch length control of your machine does not have R or P,
please set the tension control of lower looper thread at 5 - 7 and stitch
length dial at 1 - 2 (for roll hem) or at 3 - 4 (for picot stitch).
Note: The above settings of tension and overedge cutting width dial
are for general guidance. A little fine tuning will improve your
stitching in many cases. Following advice helps you.
1. Turn overedge cutting width dial.
2. Adjust needle tensions when you sew thin or thick material.
3. Reduce the tension when you use thick thread.
4. Incorrect tension setting causes stitch skipping. Adjust the tension
setting.
5. Tension setting will have problem when needle setting is incorrect.
Sewing result changes depending on the type of the fabric and its
layers.
Try test-sewing with a piece of fabric you are going to use and find the
best settings.
