Adjusting The Upper Thread Tension; Correcting The Balance; Programming Pattern Repeat - Bernina 720 User Manual

Creative sewing
The higher the upper thread tension, the tighter the upper thread which means that the bobbin thread is
pulled up to the top of the fabric. When the upper thread tension is low, the upper thread is less tightened
which means that the bobbin thread is pulled up less.
Alterations of the upper thread tension in the Setup Program affect the currently selected stitch or
embroidery patterns. Permanent alterations of the upper thread tension for the sewing mode (see page 50)
and for embroidery mode (see page 53) can be made in the Setup Program.
> Touch the icon «Upper thread tension».
> Move the slide using the touchscreen pen or the finger to increase or to reduce the upper thread tension.
> Touch the yellow-framed icon to reset the alteration to basic setting.

Correcting the balance

The machine is tested and set optimally before it leaves the BERNINA factory. Different fabrics, threads and
stabilizers can affect the programmed stitch patterns so that they cannot be sewn out correctly. The
electronic balance can correct these deviation and the stitch pattern can be adjusted optimally to the selected
fabric.
