Needle thread tension To ensure perfect
sewing results, the needle and bobbin thread
tensions must be perfectly tuned to each
other. The normal setting for utility stitches is
in the range 4 - 5 .
Check the tension with a broad zigzag stitch .
The threads must be interlaced between the
two fabric plies.
If the need le thread tension is too high, the
threads are interlaced above the top fabric ply.
If the needle thread tension is too low, the
threads are interlaced below the lower fabric
ply.
The adjustment of the bobbin thread tension
is described on page 20.
Sewing aid for thick seams
To ensure a consistent feed when beginning
sewing we recommend supporting the presser
foot on a piece of fabric of the same height as
the workpiece.
Topstitching
Straight stitch G can be sewn using any of 15
various needle positions in such a way that
you can always gu ide the sewing foot along
the fabric edge for top-stitching work. The
top-stitch width is determined by the needle
position. If you wish to top-stitch at a w ider
w idth than this, simply guide the fabric along
the guide marks on the needle plate, or use
edge guide (standard accesory No. 8) . The
edge guide is inserted into hole C and is secu-
red with fixing screw F.
