Regulating Needle-thread Tension

REGULATING NEEDLE-THREAD

TENSION

The tension dial regulates the degree of ten

sion on your needle thread and lets you select

just the right setting for your stitch, thread,

and fabric. The numbers on the dial eliminate

guesswork in duplicating settings.

Correct tension is important because too much

or too little will weaken your seams. To find

the correct tension setting, make a test on a

sample of your fabric. If the fabric puckers or

the bobbin thread is pulled to the fabric sur

face, decrease tension. If the surface or under

side stitches look loose, increase tension.

• To increase tension, turn dial to a higher

number.

• To decrease tension turn dial to a lower

number.

NOTE: The tension dial controls needle-thread

tension only. Bobbin-thread tension has been

correctly set at the factory, and you do not

need to adjust it.

SETTING STITCH LENGTH

The stitch-length dial regulates the length of

both straight and zig-zag stitches. The num

bers 6 to 20 represent the number of straight

stitches per inch: the higher the number, the

shorter the stitch. Generally, shorter stitches

are best for lightweight fabric; longer ones for

heavy fabric. Curved seams, bias-cut seams,

and scallops require short straight stitches

(15 to 20) for elasticity and smooth contours.

Bound buttonholes should be sewn with a

short stitch for durability and strength.

• To set stitch length, turn dial to setting

desired.

• For reverse stitching, press dial all the way

down and hold in place.
