Adjustment Of Thread Tension; Regulating Stitch Length - Consew 75T Set Up And Operating Instructions Manual

7. Adjustment of Thread Tension

Different kinds and weights of material and the various sizes of thread require
respective thread tensions. Thread tension is regulated by turning the tension
nut located at the top of the machine arm.
To increase thread tension, turn the nut away from you (clock wise).
To decrease the tension, turn the nut towards you (counter-clockwise).
Do not turn, tighten, or loosen tension more than about one quarter
turn at one time. Test for results and readjust, if necessary.
Fig.15 below shows the results of more and less thread tension.
