Thread tension

Note:
The bobbin thread tension does not normally have to
be adjusted.
Lower thread tension
To test the bobbin thread tension, remove the bobbin
case and bobbin and hold it by suspending it by the
thread. Jerk it once or twice. If the tension is correct, the
thread will unwind by about an inch or two. If the tension
is too tight, it does not unwind at all. If the tension is too
loose, it will drop too much. To adjust, turn the small
screw on the side of the bobbin case.
Upper thread tension
Basic thread tension setting: "AUTO"
To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number
up. To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next
number down.
A. Normal thread tension
