Balancing Thread Tension

Correct tension
The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two
layers of fabric.
q Needle thread
w Right side of the fabric
e Wrong side of the fabric
r Bobbin thread
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not
show on the right side of the fabric, and the needle thread
shows slightly on the wrong side of the fabric.
Adjusting the tension
Tension adjustment may be needed depending on the
sewing materials, layers of fabric and other sewing
conditions.
Turn the tension control dial to set the desired number at
the setting mark.
Consult information on the LCD screen for the
recommended tension setting.
