Thread Tension - Pfaff creative 2124 Owner's Manual

Correct top tension - How to get it
This machine will automatically preset the tension for differ-
ent types of stitches. Depending on what type of fabric and
threads you are using, manual adjustments might be needed.
If you fi nd that the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of
the fabric or that the top thread is visible on the underside of
the fabric, you need to adjust the thread tension (3).
Use the tension buttons + and - to set the required amount
of the needle thread tension. Your adjustments will be reset
when you select a new stitch or design.

Thread tension

For the best stitch appearance and durability make sure the
needle thread tension is correctly adjusted, i.e. the threads
evenly meet between the two fabric layers.
The following is valid for general sewing work:
Bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric:
The needle thread tension is too tight.
The needle thread tension must be reduced.
Top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric:
The needle thread tension is too loose.
The needle thread tension must be increased.
For decorative stitches and buttonholes the top thread should
be visible on the underside of the fabric.
