Embroidery
When of using other types of sewing or embroidery threads, the optimal tension may vary. Therefore it may
be necessary to adjust the upper thread tension according to the sewing or embroidering project as well as
the desired stitch pattern or the embroidery motif individually.
The higher the upper thread tension, the tighter the upper thread which means that the bobbin thread is
pulled up to the top of the fabric. When the upper thread tension is low, the upper thread is less tightened
which means that the bobbin thread is pulled up less.
Alteration of the upper thread tension affect the currently selected stitch pattern or embroidery motif.
Permanent alterations of the upper thread tension for the sewing mode (see page 56) and for the
embroidering mode (see page 60) can be made in the Setup Program.
