ADJUSTING THE THREAD TENSIONS
Normally, when upper thread regulating dial is set to [AUTO], thread tensions will be satisfactory for most all sewing. If it is difficult to obtain correct tensions depending on the type of fabric and threads being used, adjust the upper thread tension dial to settings shown below. A. Correct Thread Tensions Upper and bobbin threads should lock approximately in the middle of fabric.
B. When bobbin thread appears on top side of fabric Turn the tension dial to the left (-).
C. When upper thread appears on the bottom side of fabric Turn the tension dial to the right (+).
D. Thread Tension for Zigzag Stitches To sew zigzag stitches, the thread tension should be set to a slightly weaker tension than when sewing straight stitches. You will obtain a nicer stitch when upper thread appears on bottom side of fabric.
Helpful Hint If your sewing appears as shown on drawing, stitches on top side of fabric are good but bottom side tends to look like a towel, it could be that the upper thread is not threaded correctly (especially threading of the upper thread tension regulator may not be correct.) Refer to page 28 for correct threading.
RGLAGE DE LA TENSION DU FIL
Normalement, quand la molette de rglage de la tension du fil daiguille est rgle sur AUTO, la tension du fil convient la plupart des travaux. Sil est difficile dobtenir la tension correcte suivant le type de tissu et les fils utiliss, ajustez le bouton rotatif de tension du fil daiguille conformment aux rglages indiqus ci-dessous. A. Tension du fil correcte Le fil daiguille et le fil de canette doivent se nouer peu prs au milieu de lpaisseur du tissu.
