Adjustment of upper thread
If the needle thread tension is too high, turn the
dial counterclockwise.
If the needle thread tension is too low, turn the
dial clockwise.
Adjust upper thread tension to 0.7~1.3N when
the thread is pulled at the needle bar thread
guide.
* Correct adjustment
Turn the upper thread tension dial so that the
needle thread can be pulled to the back of the
material and that the lower stitch width will be
about 1/3 of the upper stitch width.
