Adjusting the Thread Tension

The following procedure describes how to adjust the thread tension if the correct thread tension as described on
page 44 was not used. After adjusting the tension of the bobbin thread, adjust the tension of the upper thread for
each needle bar.
Note
● Be sure to adjust the tension of the bobbin thread before adjusting the tension of the upper thread.
