Thread Tension; Adjust Thread Tension - Pfaff Creative Performance Owner's Manual

Adjust thread tension (14)

Touch + to increase and - to decrease the needle

thread tension.

For the best stitch appearance and durability make
sure the needle thread tension is correctly adjusted,
i.e. for general sewing, the threads evenly meet
between the two fabric layers (A).
If the bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the
fabric, the needle thread tension is too tight. Reduce
the needle thread tension (B).
If the top thread is visible on the underside of the
fabric, the needle thread tension is too loose (C).
Increase the needle thread tension.
For decorative stitches and buttonholes the top
thread should be visible on the underside of the
fabric.
Thread tension compensation
If you nd that the thread tension in general is too
low or too high, touch Thread tension compensation
in the Machine settings menu and adjust the settings
in the window that appears, see page 3:11.
