ADJUSTING
TOP THREAD
TENSIONS
Probably
the
most
important
control
on
your
machine
is this
one that
regulates
your
top thread
tension.
There
are
many
reasons
for
having
to
reset
your
tension.
The
best tension
for
one fabric
may not be correct
for another.
The
required
tension
depends
upon
the
stiffness
of
the
fabric,
thickness
of
the
fabric,
numbers
of
layers
of fabric
being
sewn,
as well as the type of stitch
you are
making.
It is best to test the stitching
on a scrap
of the fabric
you are using before
starting
to
make
a garment.
Use
the
straight
stitch
function
as shown
at the right.
