Thread Tension

This machine is programmed to automatically set the
tension according to the stitch. Some special fabrics
and techniques will require you to change the
setting.
The ideal straight stitch will have threads locked
between the two layers of fabric as shown
(magnified to show detail).
When sewing a zigzag stitch, the needle thread
should appear slightly on the fabric underside.
Look at the top needle thread – A and bottom
bobbin thread – B of the stitch. Notice that there are
no gaps; each stitch is smooth and even.
