Adjusting thread tension
This machine is equipped with automatic
thread tension control, which optimizes the
tension balance for the selected stitch pat-
tern.
Balanced thread tension
Straight stitch: Both needle and bobbin
threads interlock between the layers.
Zigzag stitch: The needle thread appears
slightly on the wrong side of the fabric.
However you may need to manually adjust
the tension balance depending on the sewing
conditions, or you can fine-tune the thread
tension to suit your preference.
