Correct and Incorrect Thread Tension
To understand the correct thread tension,
sew a few sample zigzag stitches at different
settings.
1. Begin with a tension that is too loose,
i.e. set at the lowest number. The
bobbin thread will lie straight and the
top thread will be drawn to the under-
side of the fabric.
2. If you set the tension at the highest
number, the seam may pucker and/or
the top thread might break.
3. The correct thread tension is set when
the threads interlock in the middle of
both fabric layers or, in the case of
decorative stitches, on the underside.
Make a few tests on a scrap piece of the
fabric you are going to sew and check the
tension.

Lowering the Feed Teeth

The feed teeth are lowered when you turn
the dial on the front of the free arm to the
left . Turn the dial to the right
to raise the feed teeth. The feed teeth will
raise as you begin to sew. The feed teeth
should be lowered when sewing buttons
and for free-motion sewing.
Note: When embroidering on your Platinum
955E, the feed teeth are lowered automatically
as the embroidery unit is connected. When the
embroidery unit is removed, the feed teeth are
raised automatically when you start sewing.
