MAKING EMBROIDERY ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusting Thread Tension

When embroidering, the thread tension should be set so that the upper thread can slightly be seen
on the wrong side of the fabric.

Correct Thread Tension

The pattern can be seen from the wrong side of the fabric.
If the thread tension is not set correctly, the pattern will not finish well. The fabric may pucker or
the thread may break.
(right side)
Follow the operations described below to complete the revisions, according to the situation.
CAUTION
If the thread tension setting is made extremely weak, the machine may stop during sewing.
This is not the sign of a malfunction. Increase the thread tension slightly, and begin sewing
again.
Note
• If you turn off the power or select a different pattern, the thread tension will reset to the auto-
matic setting.
• When you retrieve a saved pattern, the thread tension setting will be the same as when the
pattern was saved.
