Threading the upper thread (2-needle machines)
Sewing machines with 2 needles are threaded similarly to single-needle machines.
The differences can be seen in the illustration.
The thread-tensioning unit 13 is a double unit and can thus be used on both 1 and
2-needle machines.
Adjusting the upper-thread tensioner
Tension should be as low as possible. The cross-over point should be in the centre of
the material.

Adjusting the thread regulator

The thread regulator 14 regulates the amount of needle thread necessary for stitch
formation.
The setting depends on the following factors:
A properly-adjusted thread regulator ensures an ideal sewing result at a minimum
needle-thread tension.
At the correct setting the needle-thread loop must slide at low tension over the thickest
point of the shuttle.
–
Undo both screws 15.
–
Move the thread regulator 14.
The thread regulator is fitted with slots for this purpose.
Moving in the "+" direction increases the quantity of needle thread.
Moving in the "-" direction reduces the quantity of needle thread.
–
Tighten screws 15.
Caution - danger of injury!
Turn off the main switch. The thread regulator may only be
adjusted with the sewing machine switched off.
