Lower thread tension
The bobbin tension has been set correctly at
the factory, so you do not need to adjust it.
Please note:
•
Proper tension setting is important for
strong seams.
•
There is no single tension setting
appropriate for all stitch functions,thread
or fabric.
•
A balanced tension (identical stitches both
top and bottom) is usually only desirable
for straight stitch construction sewing.
•
90% of all sewing will be between "3" and
"5".
•
For zig zag and decorative sewing stitch
functions, thread tension should generally
be less than for straight stitch sewing.
•
For all decorative sewing you will always
obtain a nicer stitch and less fabric
puckering when the upper thread appears
on the bottom side of your fabric.

(14) Stitch Width Dial & Stitch Length
Dial
Function of stitch width dial
The maximum zigzag stitch width for zigzag
stitching is 6mm; however, the width can be
reduced on any patterns.The width increases as
you move zigzag dial from"0¡±-"6".(1)
Function of stitch length dial while zig-zag
stitching
Set the Pattern Selector Dial to zig-zag.
The density of zig-zag stitches increase as the
setting of stitch
length dial approaches "0".
Standard zigzag stitches are usually achieved
at "3" or below.(2)
Dense zig-zag stitches are called satin stitches.
(2)
Function of stitch length dial for when straight
stitching
For straight stitch sewing,turn the Pattern
Selector Dial to the straight stitch setting.
Turn the Stitch Length Dial,and the length of
the individual stitches will decrease as the dial
approaches "0". The length of the individual
stitches will increase as the dial approaches "4".
Generally speaking,use a longer stitch length
when sewing heavier weight fabrics or when
using a thicker needle or thread. Use a shorter
stitch length when sewing lighter weight
fabrics or when using a finer needle or thread.
(15) Sewing Straight Stitch

stitch.(1)
