Optimum seam appearance depends on
the type of fabric used, on the thread
size, and on the thread tension setting.
Set the N on the thread tension dials
opposite the round colored mark on
thread tension cover 7 (see illustration
below).
Make the correct adjustment after
exami-nation of the interlocking of
threads (the illustration on the left
shows a correct four-thread overedge
seam).
Page 16 lists examples for correction of
the individual thread tensions.
Recommendation!
Allocation of the individual threads in a
seam to their respective looper- and
needle thread tensions will be easier if,
as an excercise. you thread the tensi
ons with differently colored threads
(e.g. thread color
=
tension color).
