Adjusting the thread tension
If embroidery fails, it is difficult to undo the thread
and the fabric may be damaged. Before
embroidering, use a scrap of the same fabric to check
the adjustment of the thread tension, etc.
Thread tension adjustment will be explained here.
The upper thread tension is changed using the thread
tension dial on the left side of the sewing machine.
