Adjusting thread tension
This machine is equipped with automatic
thread tension control, which optimizes the
tension balance for the selected stitch pattern.
Balanced thread tension
Straight stitch: Both needle and bobbin
threads interlock between the layers.
Zigzag stitch: The needle thread appears
slightly on the wrong side of the fabric.
However you may need to manually adjust
the tension balance depending on the sewing
conditions, or you can fine-tune the thread
tension to suit your preference.
q Press the "+" key if the tension is too loose.
w Press the "–" key if the tension is too tight.
Foot up for pivoting
If this option is turned on, the presser foot will
automatically go up when the machine stops.
This feature is very useful when turning
corners.
Press the foot-up key to turn this option on or
off.
