ADJUSTMENTS DURING THE EMBROIDERY PROCESS

Adjusting the Thread Tension

When embroidering, the thread tension should be set so
that the upper thread can be slightly visible from the
wrong side of the fabric. With some fabric and thread
combinations, the thread tension may need to be
adjusted.

■ Correct Thread Tension

The upper thread can be slightly visible from the
wrong side of the fabric. If the thread tension is not
set correctly, the stitching may be uneven, there
may be puckering in the fabric, or the thread may
break.
Right side of fabric
Follow the procedures described below to adjust the
thread tension according to the current condition.
Note
If the thread tension is set so that it is extremely weak, the
machine may stop during sewing. This is not a sign of a
malfunction. Slightly increase the thread tension to begin
sewing again.
Memo
• If the machine is turned off or a different pattern is
selected, the thread tension setting returns to its
default.
• When a saved pattern is retrieved, the thread
tension setting changes to that set when the pattern
was saved.
• If the upper thread is not threaded correctly or the
bobbin is not set correctly, it may not be possible to
set the correct thread tension. If the correct thread
tension cannot be achieved, rethread the upper
thread or reset the bobbin.
