Thread Tension - Bernina Artista 730E Instruction Manual

Thread Tension

Basic tension settings apply automatically when a stitch or program is selected.
The tension is factory set for best possible sewing results using a 100 weight, 2 ply polyester thread
(100/2).
The tension may vary when using other types of thread such as embroidery thread, and it may be neces-
sary to adjust tension to suit the fabric and stitch type.
