Trial sewing, thread tension
Sewing test
After threading make a trial run.
Always use a double layer of fabric in
order to be able to check the stitch
formation and thread tension properly.
- Switch the machine on "I".
- Set all tension dials to 4.
- Raise the front of the presser foot
slightly with your thumb and position
the fabric under the foot just up to
the knife.
- Sew.
- At the end of the seam continue sewing
a 8cm (4") long thread chain.
- Cut the thread chain and remove work.
Check your trial run
1 Upper looper thread (
2 Lower looper thread (
3 Right needle thread (red)
4 Left needle thread (blue)
Perfect stitch formation is when both
looper threads meet at the fabric edge.
The needle threads form straight
stitches for a stretchy and durable
seam.
Thread tension adjustments may be
required depending on the type of
fabric and thread being used.
