Raising and Lowering the Presser Foot

The presser foot lifter raises and lowers the presser foot.
You can raise it about 0.6 cm (1/4ý) higher than the
normal up position for easy removal of the presser foot,
or to help you to place thick fabric under the foot.

Balancing Thread Tension

¥

Auto tension

This machine features the Auto setting in the tension
control, which covers wide range of sewing condition. Set
the tension control dial at ÒAutoÓ for general sewing,
unless specifically indicated in this manual.
Correct tension:
The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two
layers of fabric.
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not
show on the right side of the fabric, and the needle thread
shows slightly on the wrong side of the fabric.

Manual tension adjustment

Manual tension adjustment may be needed depending on
the sewing materials, layers of fabric and other sewing
conditions.
Needle thread tension is too tight:
The bobbin thread will appear on the right side of the
fabric.
Loosen the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a
lower number.
Needle thread tension is too loose:
The needle thread will appear on the wrong side of the
fabric.
Tighten the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a
higher number.
