ADJUSTING TOP THREAD TENSION
STRAIGHT STITCHING
The good looking appearance of your stitching is largely
determined by the balanced tension of both top and bobbin
threads. The tension is well balanced when these two threads
'lock' in the middle of layers of fabric you are sewing.
If, when you start to sew, you find that the stitching is irregular,
you will need to adjust the tension control.
Make any adjustments with presser foot 'down'.
BOBBIN TENSION
The bobbin tension has been correctly set at the factory, so you
do not need to adjust it.
CHANGING PRESSER FOOT
Be sure needle is in the up position. Raise presser foot lifter.
1. Push presser foot release button to remove the foot.
2. Place the desired foot on the needle plate aligning the presser
foot pin with the foot holder.
3. Lower the presser foot lifter so that the foot holder snaps on
the foot.
