Balancing Needle Thread Tension; Thread Tension For Zigzag Sewing - Janome HD3000 Instruction Book

Balancing Needle Thread Tension

The needle thread and the bobbin thread should
interlock in the center of two layers of fabric in straight
seams.
Set the desired number of the thread tension dial at
setting mark.
Loosen the needle thread tension by moving the dial
to a lower number.
Tighten the needle thread tension by moving the dial
to a higher number.

Thread Tension for Zigzag Sewing

To obtain better zigzag stitches, the needle thread
tension should be slightly weaker than in the case of
straight sewing.
The needle thread should appear slightly on the re-
verse side of the fabric.
