Adjusting Tension - Singer TINY TAYLOR TT700 Instruction Manual

ADJUSTING TENSION

All tension adjustment is accomplished
using the needle thread tension dial.
The bobbin case tension is pre-set at
the factory and cannot be adjusted.
The tension level may be determined by
using two different color threads for the nee-
dle and bobbin threads, and then analyzing
the resulting stitches.
When an even amount of thread is exerted
on both threads, a smooth, even stitch known
as a balanced stitch is produced.
A perfect, well balanced stitch will have the
needle and bobbin threads locked between
the two layers of fabric with no loops on top
or bottom and no puckering.
Too much tension will produce a tight stitch,
which will cause the fabric to pucker. To
decrease tension, turn the tension dial
Counter-clock-wise
Too little tension will produce a loose stitch,
which will cause loops in your seam. To
increase tension, turn the dial clockwise
