Drawing up Bobbin Thread
raise presser foot and hold
the needle thread lightly with your left hand.
pull 15 cm (6”) of both
threads back and
under the presser foot.
Balancing Needle Thread Tension
the needle thread and the bobbin thread
should interlock in the center of two layers
of fabric in straight seams.
set the desired number of
the thread tension dial at
setting mark.
turn the balance wheel slowly towards you with
your right hand until the needle goes down and
continue turning balance wheel until the take-up
lever is at its highest position. lightly draw up
the needle thread forming a loop of the bobbin
thread.
Thread Tension for Zigzag Sewing
loosen the needle thread
tension by moving the dial
to a lower number.
to obtain better zigzag stitches,
the upper tension should be
slightly lower than in the case of
straight sewing. the upper thread
should appear slightly on the
reverse side of the fabric.
