a Thread
b
Remove the bobbin, and then hold it out
toward the left side of the machine.
c
Lower the presser foot.
d
Apply slight tension on bobbin thread by
holding thread out to the left side of presser
foot. Press the “Thread Cutter” button
again.
■ Correcting bobbin work tension
* If the top thread shows on the bobbin side of the
fabric, increase the upper tension (Refer to
“ADJUSTING THE THREAD TENSION” on
page A-16).
* If the top thread still shows on the bobbin side of the
fabric, reduce the tension of the bobbin thread or
bypass the bobbin tension. (Refer to “ADJUSTING
THE THREAD TENSION” on page A-16.)
* Some bobbin threads are too coarse to pass through
to wrong side of fabric. In this case, be sure to color
match top thread with bobbin threads.
Example: Decorative Stitch
a Correct tension
b The upper thread tension is too loose, or the
bobbin thread tension is too tight.
■ The bobbin thread catches on the
tension spring of the bobbin case
Sew with no tension applied to the bobbin thread.
(Refer to “When tension is not applied to the bobbin
thread” on page A-7.)
