Balanced tension
The needle thread sews a straight seam on the
surface of the fabric, and the looper thread forms
loops on the back.
Stitching direction
Needle thread is too loose.
Turn the needle thread tension dial to a higher
number to increase the tension, or turn the looper
thread tension dial to a lower number to decrease the
tension.
Needle thread is too tight.
Turn the needle thread tension dial to a lower number
to decrease the tension, or turn the looper thread
tension dial to a higher number to increase the
tension.
